$667!!!! Wholly crap! Didn't they retail for $40 or so? Man i really need to clean out my garage and sell my Fiero hoard! I'd think with a 3D printer these would be simple to make.

They originally sold for about $150/pair (for the 2nd generation design). I paid about $135 for the 1st Gen design in 2014.
LOTS of people have talked about "how easy" these should be to make (especially with measured drawings floating around Facebook for the past couple of years)... yet no one has managed to tackle them yet!
But like i said, I'd think a 3D printer would be the way to go nowadays. Beyond the initial investment, you could spit them out with much less effort and possibly lower cost. Personally I like the look but have a large scoop molded into my decklid that needs the larger gap.

I think people who regularly use 3D printers are more hesitant to attach a large wing to their decklid with some plastic of questionable integrity - especially when exposed to the elements. There is a free model floating around out there for a set of stock wing stands, but I've only seen photos of 2 or 3 sets - and never any attached to a car, but I have heard stories from one of the more talented 3D-printing Fiero guys about losing a wing on the road!
Someone needs to come up with a definitive material, setting, or finishing technique (there has been discussion about possibly coating a print with a stronger epoxy) to give people the confidence to use more printed products!
Would be worth it to get them 3D scanned (35 bucks per item) and then taking that scan and in a 3D app, invert it into the rectangular mold, and then in the app, split that puppy in half into a two part mold and then print THAT. Then pour your goop of choice into it. Molds could last for dozens of castings and can be printed again...
^^^ this is done already and a high quality scan unfortunately is a lot more then $35 each. I did the scanning and it took me more than 20 hours to scan each. And yes i believe this is the way the owners of the scans are planning on going with it.
