Yes please. Samples in their web site look awesome. And price is good too. I want to do a set but problem would be to choose from so many options!

Mine are supposed to look like the carbon fiber on the yellow bike on his website. Can't wait to see how they look in my car.

Everyone. Ron has sent me a couple of pics of my parts in progress. These three pieces have not had the clear done on them yet but they look great so far. Just thought I would share in case anyone is interested in this process.







Ron tells me that the Aux gauge didn't turn out to his liking so he is redoing it. Normally he would have these done already but like many of us who work full time and do other work on the side life has stepped in the way momentarily. Ron's son is ill right now and in the hospital in Rockford IL. He is due to have surgery today. Hope all of our PFF family will keep them in your prayers. If everything goes well he tells me they should be home by Friday.

Those look great as is. With the clear they will look super!

What pattern is that? I want to say CF? but looks like it has too much silver... The application looks fantastic!

Maybe you could reproduce the stock 88 "dot matrix" pattern?

I noticed when choosing a pattern that there are several different shades for the carbon fiber.

thanks for posting the pics donnie072003

Bump for a really cool new fiero product. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing my recreated parts!

Awesome product will book mark you for the future!

OK...I'm suitably impressed w/ these pics. Wonder how it will hold up under hot summer temps. Any one w/ long term experience of this process. Will they delaminate over time?

They are covered in automotive clear as a final step. Should be pretty durable.

Thats not saying much; you should see the clear coat on my Fiero

Well that is true. Clearcoat is not 100% forever. But I think this will last years longer than vinyl overlays. I am hoping it will at least.

Ron, hoping your son is doing alright.

Very, very nice work. I am running a Mitsubishi 3000GT dash in my car right now, and would possibly like to do something with my cluster surround as well as other pieces. When I decide how many pieces I want done, I will get a quote from you.

He is home now and doing really well. Now that I am back on track I should have Donnie pieces done with in the next couple days for everyone to see.

donnie could you tell me which pattern of carbon fiber was used on your pieces? on tvhydrodip's website on the pattern page on the top line of carbon fiber patterns which is yours 1,2,3,4,or 5?

Old One I really don't know what number I have now that the website has been updated. I just asked Ron to make them look like the pieces he did for his motorcycle in the samples. His bike is the yellow one. If you PM Ron he can probably tell you which pattern it is. I am guessing #5.

The carbon fiber pattern that donnie has isnt on my site anymore. When I updated it I forgot to put that one back on the pattern page. I can still get it if its something that you want.

Which pattern was used on the Mitsu intake cover on the sample page? Liking that pattern!

It is the pattern number 3 under carbon fiber.

Donnie your parts are done.

Thats great, I'll be showing off pics later then LOL!

how big is your tank? how big of a piece can you do?

I have a 6'x3'x3' tank. I can do pretty much anything that will fit in that and if it doesnt I can do it in halves.

You know, I was thinking if you could duplicate the stock Fiero dot matrix pattern you could get hell of a lot of busniess. I probably will do a wood theme later but I have a dot matrix need right now and know many out there do too for their shifter consoles. Would be one smaller piece but probably big in quantity. Something to think about

Thats funny because I told him the same thing! lol

PM sent.

ron i was going thru some pieces to send you and i was wondering how critical the surface is on these dash and shifter pieces? i have one that i tried to paint and some others are scuffed and scratched. when do you have to say -no way. or do we just send them in and let you evaluate them? also wondering can you do the carbon fiber patterns in different colors in the same pattern. also are you able to do textured surfaces, still plastic but textured.

If you could email me some pics of the parts that you are wondering about, it would be easier that way. The carbon fiber pattern is just the silver pattern so you can put any color you want behind it. I can do a textured surface but the water transfer process will not stick to it.

Donnies parts were delivered today. Whos next!

These are the fruits of Ron's labor. I am so pleased with these. They really set off the interior in my car. These are way better than any peel and stick overlays that I could ever buy.

1st are my door handle bezels





Next is my instrument cluster.



Next is my radio and aux gauge bezels still need to install the A/C vents





Last is my shift surround. Wish I had a Fiero Thomas shifter boot to go with this right now! LOL



To all interested. Ron is a great guy to work with and as far as I'm concerned a new asset to the fiero community. Everyone should check out his website on the 1st page and see all the stuff they can do. He even showed me a cool laptop they did when he was here today. I am very pleased to have something a little bit different than everyone else. And for the money I have to say this is probably some of the best money I've spent on the fiero to get good bang for the buck.

Getting closer every day!

Donnie, those parts do look great and they really set off the work you've done behind them. I especially like the black edge around the inside of the openings. I'm assuming that took some extra time to tape off and speaks volumes to his attention to detail.

Congratulations on a great upgrade. I can't wait to get further along on 'The Puzzle' to reach the point I can do a modification like that.

Donnie the pieces look really good installed in your interior. Looking forward to getting some more parts done for you and your son. Thanks copper85gt. Alot of time was spent taping off all the black out line but it was well worth it in the end.

how much to do a fiberglass seat shell? or 2? in carbon fiber

merciero we can do 1 for $150 or both for $250
