to add to the products that I have out I am now making sunshades and bags to go with them. The sunshades and bags.
Sunshades are made from Vinyl and headliner material. Here are the sun shades. I also am making them with special glue not like OEM units so they will not crap out over time. Now for the photos.
Here is the bag that they will ship in. It does not have the logo on it.
These bags can be made in black white and brown at this time. I can custom order other colors as well.
If you want a better than OEM bag then I offer a Faux Leather Style bag with the Logo on it for 40.00 More. UPDATE do to material costs this is noe a 50.00 upgrade.
in this photo you can see how sung it fits in the roof line. its just the right fit to lay in there with out and work to get it in and it will not move around
Here is the fit around the latch in the car
The cost of the bags I have been selling them for 55.00 and the with the sunshades it will be 105.00 shipped to the USA and 120.00 shipped to Canada. THese will ship UPS. On ebay I am seening OEM go for close to 125.00 for nice ones that have a sag in them. The Fiero Store sells the sunshades for 90.00 by them self and does not sell the bag. This also does not include shipping. I am very excited to offer these as I put alot of time into them and They are better than the OEM in my eyes. If you want the sunshades buy them selfs they will be 60.00 shipped to you.
Here are the t-top sunshades that I am working on. these are the prototype at this time. I might change the seam. I have another idea as well that I want to try out as well on the edge. This one is made of vinyl on booth sides but will ship with black vinyl on the back and your choice of color on the top. These will also ship with there own storage bag as well. As I do not have a t-top I am sending this one out for testing at this time to make sure it will fit. When this one is 100% then they will ship. I will take pre-orders as well. They will take a couple of days to make and ship as this are made to order like the rest of the parts that I make. Here are the photos and please remember this is a prototype but Can make yours with vinyl on booth sides if you want. THe total for these are 75.00 shipped to the USA. For canada please add 10.00. P,ease PM with any questions. colors will include light grey, tan, blue, black, red and yes I have access to beechwood now. I have a photo of the color as well to share.
Here is the upgraded Sunshade bag that I have done for a customer. This will have a sunshade with it. This is made from faux Leather and I must say better than OEM in my book. THe OEM material just feels cheap compaired to this stuff. I can put your custom logos on this as well.
A bit of advice: Whatever you make t-top sunshades out of should be able to take a lot of heat. The t-top glass gets hot enough to fry an egg on in the sun. I'm just afraid that vinyl would melt. But in any case, I'd like some. I have some cardboard sun shades I made in the car now.

I here you on the sun for sure. I am dropping the prototype one off tomorrow to be tested and shaped for a final fitting. I use a very durable material and hold up well. But I am thinking that Black on the top might not be the best choice. I need to make sure that what I am using inside will flex enough befor I rool them out. I will keep you posted.
Any thoughts of making two piece sunshade or a folding one that can be stowed behind the seat? I'd like to be able to pop it in and out without having to stow it under the hood.
I currently have a pair of the rectangular screens that are made to attach to a side window by use of attached suction cups. Two fit the sunroof rather nicely. I got them at WalMart. I'd really like to completely block the sun on hot days though.
The pics look great. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Carroll

Excellent craftsmanship! I have yet to install my T-top conversion, but I'm sure by next summer I will be in need of your T-shades. Keep up the good work. I'll PM ya about some T-shades in a few months, after my installation is complete. Unfortunately I have other priority's with my car right now. Oh well, that just gives you a little test and development time. Also curios, do you do T-bags ?

Hello ALL I have come up with a new design to the sunshades for the car. With this new style the material will be more secure and all the seems will be nicer on the edge. I will have some photos tomorrow I hope. I am going to use the same style on the t-top shades as well so I will upload all new photos tomorrow. What I have been looking for is a new way to make the ends look cleaner. The end result will be that although they will not be reversable they will look and fit better in the car. Now this does mean that I can now do carbon fiber ones with this style. I have a bunch of carbon material on the way so I will upload photos when complete.
In the process of filling the last order and working on a new one I had to figure out a way to make it better so what I did is I talked to my design person.
I found them in the pool and had a few beers in them.
We talked about it and came up with this new style. Now this was to go into a customers car from here but there is a small blemish on it and I will not ship unless I would use it in my own car at a show. SO its new home is in my INDY for now but I tested it in the 86gt
Here it is from the inside.
And from the outside. THe car is quite a bit dirty as I had to put a new water pump in it yesterday. Twice as the first gasket that went in was the poops.
Well she got at me again. We just did not like the seams and were not happy with them after looking at it for a few days. I sit and stare sometimes and I will say that I have my best Ideas when I sleep. So Here it is in its Final state. I was going to discontinue the shade but now I am more satisfied then before.
Fiero thomas, can you make T-Top headliner kits? I need two visors and would also prefer someone prep the backer board and headliner material and ship back to me. Mine is sorta falling apart.

I can set you up on booth. However shipping the board may be an issue. They will get sidtroyed in the process. I supply a illustrated photo guide on how to intsall the headliners in your car to help you out as well.
Here is a sunshade and bag on its way to its new owner. Fitted in the Indy and the few wrinkles will go away with time it will shrink a bit. I have to make it a spot large as it will shrink with time.
I am glad that you like it. I am sorry it took so long to get to you. New job and depending on other family to ship have not worked out so I am going to take it all on the job and this each day as well now I think.
Fastback 88 sorry for the few extra days. still trying to adjust to working full time then comming home to make these items. I gues what I will say is to give a week leadtime going forward as I can not get them done the same day till I get a balance.
Pricing update. Hello all I am sorry but I just got nailed with a rather large increase on the premium bags material. Most of my materials have gone up abit over the past year but I have not had to pass any increase till now. The premium bags will now be 10.00 more to produce to a total of 105.00. The increase to me was 15.00 in material per bag. As you know I make them here in my home and I don't want to pass anything on to you. Shipping has also gone up but I don't feel that I should add do to that as it does not make seance to me. Again I am sorry but I got blindsided with this one.
Here is a shade on its way to the new owner. This material was sent to me to use. Best bet when sending material in so it does not wrinkle is to roll it and stick it in a tube for shipping. This item is way over due to be shipped but now I am caught up with what I am working on.
cornersonrails your bag is done. I am working on the shade as well
Got2be GM I am working on your bag. there is one obsitcal to get over with it at its a ton of material in the machine for your print but I will get it.
