Fiero warehouse camaro lip spoiler
Installing this spoiler was pretty straight forward. The instructions were written on it – measurements were made on the deck-lid and a silver sharpie was used to mark the points for drilling. Once everything was lined up, the deck-lid was sanded down to the gel-coat…
Fiero dash vent
I re-used the original grille for the front window vent on the PISA dash. I cut off all the mounting tabs, sandblasted the old paint off, then I put on a fresh coat of black paint to match the rest of the interior. An epoxy…
Prepping the Fiero dash for upholstery
I’m just finishing off a few outstanding items: – Completion of the glove box with magnets. – Addition of a multi-switch plate inside the glove box – I will wire additional lighting (for car shows) to these switches in the future. – Completed the speaker…
Additional support for dash trim, radio, and speakers
I attached 18 gauge metal tabs to the back of the dash – I used 22 gauge metal before, but the screws were stripping it too easily. I also attached tabs to mount the speakers and speaker covers. JB weld was used to secure the…
Revisit the Fiero glove box
The Velcro option was not working well. So I came up with another solution – MAGNETS. I used epoxy to glue a 9″ piece of metal to the glove box door, and I secured 4 magnets to the internal adjuster plate.

Fiero HVAC ducts
Not the prettiest application of fiberglass, but it works! A fresh coat of paint always makes it look better.
Fiero glove box
It took me a while to think of how I was going to keep the glove box door secured during driving. The solution was simple – VELCRO.
Fiero interior has been dismantled
I dismantled the custom interior pieces from the chassis. It involved almost 2 months of custom fabrication to install the new interior, and it took a mere 20 minutes to uninstall everything. A few more pieces need to be installed on the dash, …but the…
Fiberglass gap fix for the Fiero PISA dash
After the fiberglass cured, I pulled off the duct-tape and trimmed the edges. It will require a little more sanding and body-filler to finish, …but I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
Dash gap fix
I decided to fix the dash gap with fiberglass, rather than rely on upholstery to cover up the misalignment. Duct-tape was used to form the shape, and act as a removable barrier. It turned out quite well.
