Are these still available? I REALLY like that dash. I've been digging though posts about dash swaps, and this looks like a pretty simple way to "upgrade" the Fiero interior.
Has anyone installed this? If so, what are your thoughts?

Too bad. They looked really nice. |

I doubt Paul killed the project; they were made by Ms Lori. Paul was just the distributor.

It was the old fiero store glove box. I thing I can make the blacktop racing box work if I trim some of the fiberglass away...

I should have been more clear. I mean from the looks of it if i trim the sides away from the dash on each side of the hole where the fiero store glove bilox fit then the blacktop racing glove box could fit.

It is very simple but still it's an $800 way to upgrade the interior.

And this is why the Fiero aftermarket is so small. I could build a plug and play Firebird dash but the number of people willing to pay what it would cost is negligible.

Its looks much better than to top of the factory dash. I looked at the firebird dash swap. Its just to much. I can put this cover on, work out the glove box, put the black lexan trim kit, and up grade to led light bulb. I think ill be happy with that. I also have the uphostery kit that replaces the carpeted lower portion of the doors. Ive got the custom sub box to go between the seats along with the round speaker adapter plates, all new speakers, amp, and reciever unit. Mines also got leather seats with the ferrari horse, ferrari steering wheel, ferrari floor mats, and ferrari speedo.

Paul seemed to indicate that, with enough interest, these could be made again. The way it sounded, there was some sort of issue with the machines. You would probably know better than I, however.
Both the TFS box and Paul's box supposedly had issues with being very thin. I have 2 of the TFS boxes. I combined the best parts from both into one box, then added to the thickness.
As for the TFS glove box, there is no cutting required on the dash to make this glove box fit; however, the mounting holes do not line up with the holes from the factory glove box. Also, the back of the box does not fill the existing glovebox hole, which means that this glove box bounces some while driving.
As indicated above, many things could be made for the Fiero, but we are sometimes our own worst enemy. We won't pay a reasonable cost, aggravate the vendor to the point that the effort never comes to fruition, or by the time something is created, we've moved on and don't want it anymore.
