Are you looking for a fabricated part, or one someone covered up the cold air intake?

To my knowledge, there were no stock lower left quarter panels sold without the cold air intake hole.

If you don't have an opening, how's the engine going to get air?

   The Inlets I speak of are placed where a rear Brake Inlet would be, the rear edge is part of wheel opening, My Pass. side is a factory looking piece so must be a OEM Part.

Look on page 11 of the Formula Fastback thread.  The red one Todd has on the dolly shows the stock left rear quarter with the stock air intake.  Mike's car has a Fiero Store or Holley aftermarked scoop bolted on in place of the stock intake grill.  The fastback shows the stock right side rear quarter.  The red one and the grey one are the only way they were produced for all 5 years.

You can get aftermarket pieces that look like the one on this car for both sides....

Correct.  IIRC, that inlet was added after initial testing.  I like symmetry, too, but the sources for side scoops are drying up.

Not the aftermarket scoops. They're still around.
Sage Glassworks (formerly of Fiero Warehouse) is still producing them. The ones like on the white car, above, and also the concave (IMSA) style.
Maybe even the "ribbed" IMSA style, although I seldom see them.

  the look I want is NO Scoops on either side, but in the name of even ness the scoop on the white car were good but are they on Both Sides.   All good,   that part of the car gets at least prep today, and maybe Color too.

Some people have the intake in the engine bay.  There are several mods for this.  The great blue chop top had a V8 with the intake in the engine bay.  Of course, less power on hot air.

Yeah, and Tha Driver can make them, but the Fiero Fiberglass scoops are only existing stock.

Was there ever a pic of your car posted, after paint?  I don't recall such.
