Sprayed tan Colorcoat over some of the grey trim pieces, and stitched together a matching E-brake boot...just about ready to throw the new G1 dash back in for a test fit.

Test fitting the nearly completed G1 dash into the '88 Formula. Tooling for the airducts, shifter boot cover, and glovebox filler panel are all that is left to complete this project. Overall, a pretty good fit. Will need a power mirror switch and racing pedals, and to re-color the armrest to black. Pricing for the do-it-yourself parts kit will be set tentatively at us$1599.00 + s&h. Trimming, prep & upholstery are optional.      Thanks, Rob Fierovation

That is just what the Fiero needed! Modern looking and 80's box style gone!  You sir, are the bomb when it comes to Fiero interiors. Crap, I think I have a "man-crush" now!  What are you looking at as far as a time line to pop a complete kit for the do-it-yourselfer compared to doing a complete kit covered, guages, etc., wired and ready to just bolt in? What is the blank plate between the HVAC control and the flat screen? Are you making door panels to match or will your 355 panels work with this? Lastly, does it have a cup-holder?

I have an fi355 interior to finish, but can start new G1s now.
What is the blank plate between the HVAC control and the flat screen?
Empty space for accessory switches, etc.
Are you making door panels to match or will your 355 panels work with this?
I may do simple door panels based on stock door handles/cheap alternatives depending on level of interest. Don't know if Fi355 handles will work; haven't thought about it. It's a $600 feature that I'd rather not design around.
Lastly, does it have a cup-holder?
Maybe cut a hole in the armrest and insert a cup holder?

Rob, Thought I would share how the black Camaro power mirror switch looked liked installed. There was a tiny bit of modification need to make it fit just right, but anyone can do it:

Both manual and auto shifters will use the same console layout. However, for auto shifters a manual boot ring & new boot will be needed, and a few washer spacers may be needed under the shifter to raise it a tad to prevent the stick from hitting the boot cover. Manual boot ring with reliefs cut out for auto stick clearance.  New boot & ring mounted to console bezel.  Full auto shifter travel with boot. ( Boot cover is not fastened in photo )   Thanks for the good comments.

Rob, Can you find out the manufacture and color of the powder coating: I am thinking about having a cover plate made for the courtesy light panel:  ...the area that is raised out...I outlined it in black above. I think it will help make the car look uniform with the new look...also thinking of pieces around the door handle and locks...thoughts? [This message has been edited by TXOPIE (edited 02-13-2013).]

The upcoming spring car show season is just around the corner. If you need a dash by Spring you should let me know asap; it'll take some time to assemble parts and there's only two hands working in this shop.

Thanks Rob! Here is another mystery someone can explain...I found an actually fiero black power mirror switch...what specific fiero had a black one? And no this is not the same unit that went in the camaro or IROC...I have one of each and those two have the same molded on plastic mount points, which are different then the fiero's units...they can easily be modified to work, but not the same GM part.  seller just contact me and stated that the GM part # is as follows: GM #20426105 [This message has been edited by TXOPIE (edited 02-11-2013).]

If it just screws on and there is enough clearance then that should not be a problem.
