Mike, is your pricing the same as it was on the original thread? I am interested in both the armrest and the console door with emblems. If possible, I would like both in black with the emblems and the stitching in blue thread. What is the depths of the cup holders and will they fit with a can cooler around the can? What would be your lead time to get these made?
It`s still the same pricing as on page 1 of this thread. I can do the emblems on both but most people just get the emblem on the console door. If you put it on both it might look kind of busy, but I will do it if you like. I have Black material and a Blue thread. The Blue is more of a darker Blue like on the flag, maybe a tad lighter. The liners are in either 1-5/8" or 2-3/8" The tall and the short are pictured throughout this thread. A can just fits in the liners so a Koozie won`t fit. I can probably knock them out in a couple of weeks depending on when the embroider can do the emblems.
Mike, is it possible that I could have red stitching on the lower pad, white stitching on the upper pad and blue stitching for the Fiero emblem in the armrest? If I get the console door, would it be possible to stitch an American flag on it?
I can for sure do the stitching colors and Blue emblem. I will have to check with the embroiderer to see if they have an American flag on file. If you want it a certain way or have your own picture they charge 65.00 for the digitizing fee to have it done. I will let you know when I find out.
Finally found this post! Met a Fiero owner (seq) a few weeks ago that had one and I love them! I'll buy one eventually but I don't have the money right now.
I don`t use the straps anymore. It is held from underneath by a couple of angled brackets with screws through them into the stock holes that hold the plate on.
one last question...I didnt see any in the dark brown color, is that available?
I have never done one in dark Brown so I haven`t really pursued a good match for it. I have a dark Brown material but I don`t have Fiero parts to compare it with.

umm, yeah...that's the color Im interested in hahaha sorry. I guess I could trim a small piece from the back of one of the consoles and maybe mail it to you to see if you can find a match?? Or maybe Mr Mike has a source for that stock color? Its in an 84 SE

Originally posted by seq: "I'm very, very happy with the cupholder. I've had it in for a few weeks. When driving around, I can only use the passenger-side cupholder, as anything in the driver-side blocks comfortable access to the shifter. It's fine for occasional shifting, and you probably won't be bothered if you have an auto. The only time I've had a passenger *and* drinks was when we drove to Rochester, NY. Simple workaround was to have my wife hold my drink until we got to speed on the highway. Then I don't need to touch the shifter for a while.
Don't take this as criticism of TxGood's design. There isn't a single suggestion for improvement I could make. As I said, I'm very happy with it."
I really, really want to emphasize that having a cup in the way of your arm isn't a design issue with TXGood's layout. There literally isn't any other way of doing it while keeping the awesome could-have-been-oem look this provides. I've seen stock cupholders in modern cars with worse layouts (2007 Focus -- Small drinks only, hard to get cup out in first or third third gear).
Just installed short cupholder with lighter, console door with emblem, glove box in 1984 Fiero SE. Great quality design and workmanship. Must have for any Fiero.
Did you ever consider offering the cup holder section without the arm rest pad? I have a Mr. MiIkes console cover and just adding the front cup holder section IMO, would look nice.

I don`t know how it would stay in place as the way I have it the plywood under the pad helps hold it in place. If you want just the front section I would just leave the back off. I could try it if you like.

Let me send you a picture of what I now have. My ragtop will use the full cup holder w the armrest that I purchased from you last year, but on my 87GT 3800SC I would like to try something different (if possible)

Wow, just found out about this. I ordered one from TLG (Black Top Racing) and it looks about the same as this.
I would love to buy a glove compartment that you have in a black/grey to match my interior. I haven't seen any updates on that so I wasn't sure if you were still making/selling them. PM me for details, thanks a lot!
------------------ Every fiero has a story, It's our job to keep that story alive.
Here is a console door that someone ordered through Blacktop Racing with a custom embroidered Northstar emblem. This is just an example of what the digitizer can do with an image and then sew it onto the vinyl.

An idea for that - maybe you could have screw access under the cup holders, and have it screw into the holes that hold the stock cigarette lighter cover plate?
My question: can you make the cup holder "longer" ie, cover some of the plate where the power window switches would go, if you had power windows? I have a big blank spot there, and if your product covered some of that, maybe you could add a slot to hold a cell phone or MP3 player? A cubby to hold loose change? Etc.

They use the screw holes that hold the plate on as of now through some brackets. I have been making these a long time and have sold to a lot of people on here. Sales have slowed down considerably and I can`t really justify redesigning the length of the cupholder when I have all of the templates that I use cut out.

Very understandable, thanks for the response. I'll have to get one myself soon, but have other issues with my car that takes priority now.
