I have had many requests for a cup holder for the Fiero. Here is what we came up with, they can be installed in less than 5 minutes, by removing the two screws holding the cigarette lighter bezel and sitting this over it and reinstalling the two screws. For anyone that wants one, they are available in gray, tan, or black. The price is $40 shipped to the lower 48 states. I can accept PayPal.

I don't think it will be a problem with shifting, we moved the cup holder over towards the passenger side for that reason. I have one in my car, although my car is an automatic, it doesn't get in the way for me, and I usually drive with my right hand on the shift handle.

Actully they both have a small gap, this was done on purpose so they would not damage the console, you just don't see it on the black one because it is black,they rest on the bottom of the cup holder. They are fiberglass.

If you want a cheaper cup holder, that doesn't fit a Fiero, you can go find them at a flea market somewhere. These were made to fit a Fiero, and I feel the price is reasonable.

do you have these made up all ready or can you leave a little more on the bottom so i can fit it with no gap ? my console has a tear in it anyways just don't want to see it under it . i understand if you can't because of the mold or something . how big of a gap is there the photo might just make it look big on the tan one

Saw these at Carlisle today! Nice quality work. Well worth the money. I was also wondering when you were going to offer the 1990 interior set up for sale? I am really interested in the Firebird cluster set up. What't the price going to be for that? Thanks -Jason

There isn’t much better in this life than finding a way to spend a few hours in conversation with people you respect and love. You have to carve this time out of your life because you aren’t really living without it.

Well Lori, if the price is right on the dash clusters I think you're gonna have a hot seller. The toughest part is gonna be which one to choose ... The digital version looks like it might fit the stock fiero dash surround, but the analog dial version looks a little wide. What time frame are we looking at B4 they are available .... weeks, months ? Thank You.

OK since the word is out, here is the information on the dash clusters. I didn't realize he was going to put these on display just yet. This is something we have been working on before he left to go to Carlisle. The ones he had with him are the prototype dash clusters we will be offering for sale soon. They are designed to be a bolt in for the Fiero with some wiring modifications. They will not use the Fiero cluster surround, they will be complete. The price has not yet been determined, and will depend some on what the customer wants. The Firebird cluster is out of a Trans Am which will read 150 MPH, and are not cheap to buy, and is setup to use with a V8 and would need to be recalibrated to use with a V6, or we could use the ones out of a Firebird which are already calibrated to use with a V6, but only go to 110 MPH, and are cheaper to buy, so the price will depend on which one the customer wants. Don has decided to take a well deserved vacation and may not be back for another couple weeks, so I am guessing they will not be available for about a month. BTW, since he has displayed this already, the firebird dash cluster was mainly designed to go in the 90 Fiero prototype replica we are working on, the dash clusters will be offered separately.

They both look great. I have a z24 digital gauges and also the 110 v6 firebird speedometer so I'm really intrested in both of them! They look great and I will be watching this as it progresses. Nice work!!
The gauge clusters are great! I'm not for sure if there is a market for this, but a different type of gauge bezel for the stock Fiero gauges would be cool too. Something to make it look a little more modern than it is.
