well curly only sent a couple of pics so don't get too excited.

Here they are, alittle hard to get the full picture, but dash still looks pretty darned good !!

First a work in progress pic from before.

How it looks after coming into form.

Okay guys, vacation is offically over. News? Yes. sorry guys, I only got 3-pics and 1-pic is missing.

What happened? The area that was to be covered with the same material was performed or worked on by someone else and not by Matt's Customs. Whoever did the work somehow covered over the center defroster vents (yeah, that's what I said too?). It was later reworked on the next day and by 12noon it was finished....but! The padding was too thick and it therefor throw-off the entire custom black fiberglass parts. Plus, the speaker padding was not a complete copy of each other as seen in the pic. I was going to live with it but since I like things to fit nicely and so does Jerry, it was decided that I'll come back next month.

The VDC kit was finished and the doors are now easy to raise due to the use of a stronger strut that is commonly used on trucks. The SUV struts are way too strong. It does take a little more weight to bring the doors down. It's really no issue due to the Fiero's door handle.

XS Customs deducted the cost of the round trip and hotel loggings. They throw in some extra work on the headliner and "alls good" in my book. No monies were lost because I was off during the time I was at the shop. I had a good time and finally meet ShawnFL (a very nice guy). It's good that we have friends all over the world who loves Fieros.

I must have talked my headoff with ShawnFL, talking about this & that. Mr. Mike and Frank was very helpful in calming my nerves. Exoticse and D1S were great too. I decided to leave after Thursday came and gone. I flew-out of FL headed to Chicago (ORD) to CA (SFO). I nearly missed my connection flight while in ORD while trying to eat a hot dog.

DAsh n Things? The dash IMO is 100% better than #11 and since it is a high gloss black, it's apprearance is stronger with less fluff. I do have camera phone but I won't ruin the moment with those pictures. Jerry took 4-pictures total while I was at the shop.

Edit: The two front speakers are 6x9's. The 6x9's were part of the problem, hehe

Thanks Tony for posting. I'll ask Kelly for the other pics.

Same as the VDC hindges.......Viper Red. It seems that I'll need to change out the black seat colors in for red. I'll switch with the Stealth Fiero.

While I was at the shop, I changed the position sensor. The T.P went out during my trip to Daytona. Yes, it was a pain tring to remove it.
