I was looking in to doing a kit for this conversion but the cost was too high. You could do the conversion for about 1/8 the price of the kit and that would include everthing you would need, the kit would not even include the dash, so I did not pursure the kit anymore.
I would suggest doing the conversion yourself, a few have done it here and the end results were completly different fot the other guys. The big advantage to the Firebird dash is there are a lot of room for differences to give the final look a personal touch, and uppdate to a more modern look for the car.
I am doing one myself, and I can say from personal experiance that anyone with min skills can do this if they just take thier time, mostly because as you go along you will come across a new idea that you will just have to add to the conversion, and that is part of the fun.

There is nothing really difficult about about the firebird interior swap, but it is time consuming. I do think there is a market for a bolt-in kit as well as turn key installs...I just don't have time to develop it, or do it. I can't even find the time to finish my own car let alone do someone else's.

Someone like Archie could do this and people would be buying it up like hot cakes. If someone needs help I'd be glad to share what I know.

The 4th gen firebird interior was virtually unchanged from 1993 to 2002. There was a slight redesign of the center console in 1997 with the addition of an additional cupholder and the odometer went digital. Other than that any 4th gen firebird dash should fit in any Fiero.
