T-top headliners are not ready yet. No, I'm not taking orders for anything I can't deliver yet. I'm looking to get a t-top setup in the next week or so to base the new liner on... until then, I can't give you a firm date.
The final production headliners I got for the standard and sunroof versions looked pretty great to me and with a couple, I mean TWO, minor changes... I'm ready to start selling those now.
I've still got to post pics... sorry I haven't done it yet.
I don't have a "dash cover" but I do have the CF panels such as the main instrument, the aux, radio and shifter surrounds. I'm working on the mold for the cigarette lighter surround now. The 3rd brake light cover is due any day as well.
Others are pending.
Thanks again for all your interest...
The website is just about wrapped up. Still working with a forum member here that is helping with the design in exchange for parts. Still need a good "commerce" front end though...
Had a great 11th anniversery today. Thanks for the emails and well-wishes
Best,

Thanks for the bump all... I am still out of town and will be until Monday. I'll give you the latest then as I'll have a chance to follow up myself.
Beaverton Guy... Sure, let's get together.
General update... Production liners, 3rd brake light covers and cigarette covers are supposed to be on route now. Haven't seen them yet. Hope to see or hear the status on Monday.
The last round of "prototypes" were just approved and the first of the RETAIL liners are on their way.
I'm going to shoot some pictures and stuff when they arrive and looks like I'll be taking and filling orders within the next 10 days or so.
VERY GOOD NEWS
The 3rd brake light covers managed to pop out too so those will be available as well.
I know it's been a while, thank you for your patience... but when you see these liners...
I can't even imagine your reponces!!! They're worth the wait. SOOO Worth it.
The target price for the Liners is $225 but I am going to offer them initially at $199 for EITHER liner. Tecnically, the sunroof liners are more spendy than the solid linders even thought they don't have the extra material but DO have the complex molds... so the price will go up to the $225 point very soon.
3rd Brake light covers are $49 clearcoated and $39 without coating.
Cigarette light surrounds pricing is still being determined bit coming soon as well as a bunch of the other pieces we have been talking about in this thread.
Of course, if the numbers are high on the initial orders, maybe we can drive the prices down a bit on the retail offering as well. I guess it's up to you
So... in short... pics to follow and orders will be taken any day.
DKOV Motorsports website is happily under way. We let go the previous designer that was wasting our time and are now working with a new guy that has done some amazing work so far.
We are putting in a full commerce package as well as some cool product features and install stuff. Customer pages, etc. Should be really neat.
Done yet? Nope. It's coming though...
IF you guys could only see my schedule
TDC work is progressing well. Funny thing is, as much as folks say they want hop-ups and features for the TDC/DOHC motor... I find that almost nobody is actually willing to PAY when it comes down to it.
I've had several folks inquire on the Turbo kit as well as the Ported Heads and other hop-ups... after reading the costs they still say they are on board... right up until the time to write the check.
Hey, it's not a cheap hobby and none of us think it is but still...
Look at my prices. A complete P&P plus reshaping of the heads for a 47 cfm gain over stock... for UNDER $1200? Nobody can match that in performance or in price. I paid more than that to a now defunct company that basically ran a dremel brush throught he ports and called it "ported".
Anyway, yes all these things will be on the DMS sight including the 3.4L parts and services. I just hope that everyone's as excited about it as I am.
---------
Fierogt3...
They will stay $199 through Christmas at least and will be available by the end of next week.
----------
stimpy...
Engine cover for the 3800sc? Anything is possible. It's just a matter of cost and demand. I guess we'll see
That and N* valve covers

I'm checking to see if the price on the material will effect anything. I don't think so, but I'm checking anyway. It's a bit late to get an answer tonight.

Hey DKOV, I appreciate what you have been saying in regards to people wanting to "build" up their 3.4 TDC. I will on the other hand cut the checks. As everyone will see in the next couple of weeks when the exterior of "Outlaw" is complete. I have spent about 5 grand on my 88GT in the last week alone. My need is just some sort of contact besides the Fiero Forum. I really look forward to your website and then a number to get ahold of you. Because basically I'm debating between completing the Fiero for about 15 to 20K for the engine. I have a new 3.4 TDC block, and want to turbo it (450 to 500 hp). Or I will be buying a Viper (97 RT). Bottom line is I have a friend that owns a ZO6, and another a 94 Viper, and I want that kind of speed. I don't know about everyone else, but I do look forward to working with you so long as I can make this Fiero blazin fast. I run a succesfull gym here in SD, and eagerly await what your doing.
------------------ Help, Someone has lit a Fiero in my a#@!
DKOV, I sent you a PM but you never responded. I promise I will ship you those N* valve covers monday. I had saved them in the box to be shipped and just recently dug through my 10 or so big boxes and found them. The deal is still on for the covers?
Also mark me down on the list for a headliner, no sunroof. Let me know when to pay and where.

In exchange for your covers, I will build you a free set.
Thanks

How oddly things work out... Looks like we have a CUSTOM CF Headliner (actually is Carbon Kevlar) being delivered to a customer BEFORE the standard CF Liners are getting here....
In any case, heres a pic fresh out of the molds. From here, we buff and cutt each layer of clear and UV coats.
I'll add antother pic once the thing has been clear coated and at the delivered SUPER SHINY stage.
I'll let the lucky Forum owner tell you the rest and show you the installed pics.
Don't ask the price on this one... it was CUSTOM.
Actually, we did make him a deal but ANY of our liners, even this one, will be UNDER $300 with the standard CF liners going for under $250.
Plus shipping, of course

Looks awesome, I just wish i had a t-top to put one in! Heres an idea for you... i dont know if any of the fastback people are interested, but how about CF turbo scoops? Keep up the good work, boris

It's nice to see some progress is actually being made! There's been talk of carbon stuff being made forever by a few people, and lately there's been all sorts of *real* proof...sweet!
I'm looking forward to hearing that we can actually buy these, and for less than my right arm even!

Very cool. I'll probably have to wait until after Christmas the way things are going, but I will definately buy one. Are you still considering making the rear firewall cover? I'll buy one of those too if you do.
DKOV- I'm currently waay to early on in my rebuild to start the interior but I just have a question out of curiosity.. With the CF healdiners, is it possible to have a CF moulded overhead light pod instead of using the old one? Just thought that would be pretty sweet looking.
