If you want custom designed parts for your fiero we can make it happen. We do water transfer printing on just about any part that you can think of. The cost of water transfer printing on your parts is fairly low compared to getting custom paint work done. One of the big sellers for us is carbon fiber. After a high gloss clear coat is applied the part looks like it is made of carbon fiber but at a much cheaper price. The design that you choose will form perfectly over any part that you decide to have done. Take a look at our website and send us an email with any questions or pricing info. www.tvhydrodip.com
Nice product! I liked what you did with the welding mask. I am sure I am not the only one to ask: What would it be to do the 4 piece interior trim set of the Fiero? (Shifter, Heater, Aux Gauge, and Dash Gauge Surrround?) I would like it in the #1 Metal pattern.. just curious, pretty poor at the moment.

How about dipping all the individual body pieces in carbon fiber. That'd make the ricers really jealous! Haha. I'm not planning on it, but is it theoretically possible?
In all seriousness, that is some really cool stuff.
Thanks everyone for the interest. Doing the 4 trim pieces will be $75 regardless of the design that you choose. I would like to be able to do all of the individual panels on the fiero but i would need a much bigger tank.

There is not a minimum order before i will do anything. You can send me the smallest part and i will do whatever you would like done. As soon as i receive your part i will do what you want and send it back out. It will take about a week to do the parts you send. Time has to be allowed for paint drying and curing before sending back.

BUMP for innovation....that is so awesome!!!!! i will be looking for stuff to gather for an order. i will also pass it on to my friend that is obsessed with interior re-design
So who is going to be the first? Lets get some Fiero "sample" pics up
So how durable is this stuff? Any special care need to be taken when cleaning? Would the price go down w/ the more parts that are dun? Is it only applied to rigid panels? Could it be applied to semi-rigid parts (plastic parts that may need to be bent to fit back in) w/o flaking off? Can if be appled to vinyle <sp?
Gonna bookmark this as well

The parts that are done in these graphics are very durable. The parts are first painted with automotive grade paint. The color of the base coat will compliment the graphics. Then the graphics are applied. After the graphics dry a automotive grade clear coat is applied. You can use window cleaner or soapy water to clean the parts. We cannot apply this to vinyl. The parts can be some what flexible just not to the point of bending them in half. If the part gets scratched you can hand buff the part to try to get rid of the scratch.

I am not sure what design your talking about. I dont have any that are metallic. I can make them that way but it will be more money. I do not have any pics of that design on any parts.

Do you have any sample pics of parts done in any of the metallic patterns?
I like pattern 1 of the metallic and would be interested in getting the 4 dash pieces done in that. [This message has been edited by deezil (edited 09-07-2010).]

I think the patterns he is referring to would be numbers 1 through 5 on the patterns page of your web site. The illustrations show various grades of brushed aluminum to diamond plate.

deezil sorry about the misunderstanding. I dont have anything at this point that is done in that graphic. I am certain that you will like it once its done, if you choose to do it.

He posted above $75 for a set of 4 bezels. I am going to get it done. Sent the parts out today (instrument, radio/HVAC, aux cluster bezels and the shift surround. Will post pics upon completion. Getting mine done with #13 carbon fiber. He says that is what is on the bike at the bottom of his website. Should look good.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I've seen some of the parts he's done this process to and can vouch that they are high quality. Also a real car guy who eats, breathes and sleeps customization. I'll definitely be a customer as soon as my project reaches that stage.

The sad part about this is that I have been making carbon fiber parts for years but even I would go this route to save time. This is a very good process and unless you really study the part, you cannot tell that it is not real carbon fiber. Nice of you to offer this to the forum.

Wow I just saw this on e-bay. Looks like this is an awesome alternative to buying stick on pieces. Now I'm glad I went ahead and took a chance on this!!
Donnie, I think you'll be very pleased with the results. I saw a couple of his samples at Fierorama today and thought they looked great. He was carrying a carbon fiber and a camo piece and they looked terrific.

I can't wait to see them! lol He told me Friday that he thought they would be done on Monday sometime. He is going to deliver them to me next weekend. I think the look is really going to set off my interior. If they look as good as I think they will I will probably get a couple of other pieces done as well. My son is wanting his IROC stuff done too. He has to buy some tires first but I think that is next on his list. Donnie
