You can always change that. PM Amida. His interior kit rocks!

Funny, that radio LOOKS about how mine SOUNDS.

That black in the radio space, ya thats the empty hole where the radio was SUPPOSED to be in the most recent car I picked up. I show up, check it out, and the stereos gone. Guy said it got stolen the night before I came...pfff, ya right

Ooh. I always kind of LIKED the fiero's interior for its spartan and sparse effects... What you say is true, though, there's little imaginative about it.

------------------
If you can't be good, be good at it.

the Fiero dash is a hodge podge of pods

It's funny 'cuz it's TRUE!

If they were going with a ' high tech ' pod look, they should have went the extra mile and made them all digital. Otherwise I like a plain ole simple normal dash.

The sad and funny part is that Ridezelightning hit the nail right on the head.
That dash looks overly simple and cheap even by 80's standards. My friend, when riding along in my Fiero when I first got it, immediately said that the aux gauges in the middle look like they've been borrowed from a truck and added in as a half-"thought out" afterthought. (I'm being more polite than the word he used.)

Don't worry, GM didn't learn its lesson. The solstice is even worse. At least it got cupholders though. (in the wrong spot, but hey, at least something..)

I would love a dash that was similar to Fie RO's. That looks classy. Even premium cars have a hard time living up to that one. Plus, the exterior color being repeated on the inside really reminds me of MINI Coopers.

Toddster, don't worry, mine does too..

Hey at least they got the outside right. 20 years later my 88 still turns heads of old and young alike so I can live with the interior especially with a DOHC 3.4 in the back.

How about a combo of the old dash with the new! A-la Mad Curly!

My two absolute favorite interiors:

This one I've researched, but found very little information about.




And of course Fie RO's interior. That is just gorgeous every time I look at it.
Probably the closest in the true spirit of he Fiero.

I love that one, too, and have all the pix I could find. Enfuriating to think that there was a mold made, it might even still exist and this dash is not available for purchase!

Grrr!

The mould does still exist and according to another thread somewhere I think a guy in California or somewhere out West owns it and wanted like 50,000 for it.

Had to throw this one in there. It'll be a while before it's in my car and ready.

IMO, that's the interior the Fiero SHOULD'VE come with from the factory.

Which one of the two?

quote Originally posted by FierociousGT: Come on guys, no one like this?

very awesome, only reason i wouldn't choose it is it seems a little... busy for my tastes. I prefer a more "cosy" feeling, like the other ones posted (the mystery interior and Fie-ro's ).

quote Originally posted by Austrian Import: The solstice is even worse. At least it got cupholders though.

Really? I just sat in a Redline tonight (same interior right?) and I thought it was pretty nice.

I do see your POINT.... "it seems a little... busy". I do like it but without all that digital stuff and it looks similar to the original Fiero interior but modernized.

Ohhh nice! What car is that from and how wide is that dash?

quote Originally posted by Austrian Import: This one I've researched, but found very little information about.

This one looks to be the most economical using stock gauges, vents, etc. It appears to be cover pieces encapsulating the old dash after some trimming & slight mods. Not bad at all, it could pass as an '89 interior. Has potential as an affordable conversion kit.

i like the fieros interior, ya its dated, but it fits the car,
im 5'8" and i guess i dont understand the cracked dash corners, mine are perfect and my knee's have never touched the dash corners maybe i get in and out differantly, but my knee's dont even come close

Now there has to be a way of updating the Fiero interior, making it look modern.

You just have to add a few things and some color. BTW: all those gauges and the stcok ones work. I saw a Lotus E that had a pod dash that look something like a Fiero.

I'm sorry to report that this week I saw the most beautiful stock modified dash on the planet inside a Fiero.

Saturn Sky Redline has a different IMHO much nicer (at least European looking) interior than the Solstice. It's a rebadged Opel GT.

Please post pics. Inquiring minds wants to know!

I totally agree. If I can find it again, I found pictures of the 2006 Lamborghini Miura prototype interior. That was a gorgeous remake.

Nothing to be sorry about. Do share pictures though..

I tried too, but Longs Drug store employee was on her darn lunch break, hehe. I needed to unload my digital camera pics. Oh yeah, I've seen the most beautiful modified door panels on a Fiero and much, much, more!

This is the only shot I found. Not clear.

madcurl, your dash is cool as hell. For me though i couldn't have something that looks like surgically sterile environment. I really like the cockpits of fighter jets and planes, this is ultimately what style i want in my fiero. But i also like getting into something and feeling like is giving me a hug everytime i close the door.

I want a cozy fighter jet cockpit lol. call me ricey, but I like lots of gages. Blue light up gages. And lots of switches and buttons. I like everything covered in a fabric or leather. Heres something i made. Im working on a new one now so this is junk but its kinda neat still.

The Solstice interior looks pretty good to me...

That looks good. Sort of a cross between Pisa dash, & Fie Ro's console. Nice doors too. The Ford GT dash looks cool, I would bring the gauges closer together though.
