Now that we have all these reference pictures to work from, how hard would it really be to make a 90 Prototype Interior Kit?
Dash Someone in another thread said they'd see about making one.
Window switches Making these functional may be harder, but making the pieces themselves would be easy.
map pocket Unless I'm mistaken, this is identical to the other Fieros? Could you just add the Fiero logo print to plain grey ones, or were there ever any plain grey ones? If not, would the piece even be hard to just cut and sew if you had that material?
radio surround That's what, a plastic piece on bottom and vynl (sic) around the AC vents? Could that be retrofitted to current Fieros, or would you have to make that light grey support and backing part too?
This could be good for anyone wanting to update the look of their Fiero without swapping in another interior, or make it easier for anyone who eventually does a 90 prototype body kit, since they wouldn't have to worry about making interior pieces, too.
I've only worked with model kits, so I don't know how difficult certain pieces would be to make, but luckily GM did use a lot of parts that would already be on the Fiero or could be re-used.

LoL, yep same ol horns tabs that I had in my '86 SE, and they snap right off if you get a bit too agressive with the road rage honking.
or panic honking from someone merging into you - i was on my way to the auto parts store when that happened to me - ended up having to get a new stearing wheel while i was there
yeah that guage pod lone would make the interior look very up to date

In all acuallity, the 90 was put togehte rby whatever parts they could find that were already on the shelf. They simply were trying for an update. I do believe there were 3 full size 90s.

It seams to me if you take a firebird speedo suround and make a mold and reverse it. it would be close
Well just cut the side vent off and add wing like extentions onto the side and there would be the front part. So how would we get the rest?
