I've got a set based on this thread but haven't installed them yet. Cheers.

On a side note, why do the support things in the visor pockets turn orange and crumble and leave tons of dust?! Pontiac couldn't just stuff cardboard in there? What are they, anyway?

Yes, there's several Chrysler cars whose visors fit well in the Fiero. I got a set from a FWD Dodge Daytona; they're really nice, and although they don't match the color of the headliner material in the Fiero, they DO match the maplight cluster perfectly.

Also check Dodge Shadows and Plymouth Sundances for visors, although the newer ones are of a different design if I remember right (the Neon's visors won't fit for the same reason).

I took them off. Darn things just block your view. I have a dark tint strip about twice the size of the factory tint strip. It blocks the sun fine enough and you can still see traffic lights.

Perhaps we can build a list of what works for certain (for future people asking this question)

I got a pair for my convertible from a late 80s Sunbird convertible. They are leather covered, match the grey interior and even have a mirror on the passenger side. Oh......they fit great too!!!!!

They work but I have not dropped the headliner to pull in the wiring. It is just a simple power and ground wire.

LOL this is the same as the Visor. There are 4 wires that go to the steering wheel controls. Power., ground, dash lights and a data line to the radio. The trick is having a radio that has a data port. Many of the newer ones do. The collum was easy to convert. It basicly is converted from the turn signal up.

So I guess the answer is: no, not yet, but I know how to do it.

Mine were a mess and read in PFF somewhere that early 90's Dodge products were a perfect replacement fit so I got a pair out of a Dodge Shadow, I didn't want lights, but I wanted mirrors and these had them for both sides. The color is the same as the overhead light console and they were plug and play - no problem. They look better than the OEM visors I took out.

I'd be VERY interested in pics of the process, if you have any... I also have a couple of the button pods, but no steering wheel or column (yet).

I've always wanted to do that to my car...

You will need the T/S switch, cancel cam, lock plate and wheel too. The Fiero collum is still used. There are 4 wires that feed the secondary wiring to the T/S switch to the remote controls. I have a diagram around here someplace, but not sure where it is right now. You do also have to have the proper radio, one that will accept input from the remote. Most of the newer radios do have this. I am not sure is all of the new ones use the same input from the data line as the earlier ones do.

I am almost positive that the stuff is off an 87 Bonniville, there were changes on the newer cars, the steering collums were differant.
