That first fiero is a bit... ricey for my tastes, although it does look like nice rice™

As for that second one... wow!!

I like the look of the first one... Looks mean as hell. I think the second one looks kinda cheesy, but interesting.

How did he get his interior to become Yellow?
I really like the way that it looks. Is there any way that I could get me interior to look red like his was yellow??

Thanks Ken

The vynil dye will rub off in high traffic areas, such as the center console.

Hey 1FST2M6, it looks like that woman in the blue shirt standing next to the car was thinking the same thing by her expression.

Must be he didn't want to get his engine all dirty.

I have seen that Fiero in Sport Compact Car before. That interior looks cheesy. I would get a kit if I was serious about showing. If I was rich I would buy a Formula, drop in a Northstar or SBC, buy the IMSA body kit, big rims, and paint it white like Archie did with the "white ghost". I would love to see the look on all those ricers faces!!

I think somethings on that car look good but others dont't. For example, yellow interior looks great with black, and only black. Yellow and Grey? Uck! Nice steering wheel though

yeah i was wondering about that yellow dash. i really like the way it looks and i was think about painting mine. If i did do this i would probably want to pull out the dash correct? And if i do have to pull the dash how hard is it to pull it out? thanks Luke

Pull the dash... it's not too hard to do.

Tools you'll need:
* 7mm & 10mm 1/4 sockets, extention and wrench
* Phillips & flat head screwdrivers
* A Torx bit screwdriver or socket for the dash pod cover

First, you'll need to remove the shift and radio consoles, a metal plate behind the radio console. The four console screws are located under the cigarette trays to get that started. Second, remove the dash pod cover and hood release lever. Next, carefully pull the speaker covers to uncover the screws that hold the upper part of the dash. Remove the speakers and disconnect them. Two screws are on the underside of the dash on the outside corners. That's about it, takes about 1 hour to do it the first time, about 30 minutes the second time around. Hope this helps...

No problem. I never re-colored a dash before. Search the General Chat or Technical Questions for "dash" or similar keyword, you probably will find some more info in old threads.

I saw the first car at the 1999 FOCOA National Fiero Festival Columbus, OH.

The second car is just amazing. The money and the time to build that car is staggering. To the owner, Job Well Done.

Hi,
What kind of kit (or mixture of kits) is the second one? I love the gullwing doors and the nose. My Delorean is jealous.
Thanks,

One thing I would be concerned about painting my dash is glare. I would think that having a bright colored dash would cause unacceptable amounts of glare on the windshield. Especially if the dash was yellow. Any one experience this?
I don't know what kind of kit that second car is but it is cool! Don't like the nose though.
