I've driven by his place about 1000x.

He works out of his house if you happen to be looking for it!!
(it's not a mall, retail shop, etc)

"effin"...?

After looking over the site, I'd say he deals with all struts on a car that are not part of its suspension, but I could be mistaken...

If the Fiero ever came with gas struts for the decklid - yes.

You'd have to come up with a bracket, give him the specs, and he'd build one.

I did a bracket up some time ago, and it did work - but we found that over time the heat from the engine decayed the gas charge in the strut (that was an off the shelf surplus strut BTW).
