I spy a laundry basket. You are going to recover that, too, aren't you?

Very nice Xanth! Nice to see other 88's here in MA.  That vinyl material looks pretty slick! I bought the ABS liner with the dk. gray cloth. I figured my sunroof strip would be mangled like you said and bought another one. I have the Rodney Dickman speaker grill cloth and a factory subwoofer system going in as well. I'll post when I actually get my lazy butt going on it.  ------------------

I think there's a few of us around here, I've seen other cars around that I'm fairly sure aren't on PFF. Think you'll go down to the Kick Hill swapmeet in CT? The factory subwoofer system, with a better speaker is an excellent upgrade

I wish I had a better camera, the vinyl looks even better in person. and with the 1/4 of foam it is very soft to the touch, feels like leather. If you give it a go, try and get the most stretchy vinyl you can find in the pattern and color you want. Mine is moderately stretchy but the corners around the sunroof are difficult. I did mess up the very front right corner, the glue set before I could fix it but its not really noticable.

Perhaps you can guess what it will be. |

That back piece behind the seats on the firewall, or maybe the door panels?[This message has been edited by Fiero Owner (edited 06-26-2008).]

When's the Kickhill Farm swap meet?
I got my 1st engine replacement from them back in '96. It was from an '87 w/62K miles. I now know why the engine vibrated slightly... I never changed to the '87 flexplate and flywheel. It wasn't resolved until I bought a brand new block for an '88 back in 2001.
As for your secret project, steering wheel rewrap?  ------------------

That's what I was thinking, is the lower door panels, because it's been on my to do list for a long time!
