Thank you!

Those are new aftermarket quarter windows that I bought from a seller on eBay. He does great work but I don't know his username on PFF. These fit very well but they are pretty soft and very easy to scratch. You will want to be careful when cleaning them. Treat them like plexiglass and they'll be fine.

Here is a link to his current eBay listing.

Thank you Dave and Davy!

It's starting to get warm out here and i'll have to worry about dripping sweat all over the paint..

I just received a couple more goodies that will enhance the Fiero experience.

FedEx drops off this box... Hmmmm, I wonder what's in there?

installing the new seats was not as easy as I had hoped it would be. The Corbeau seat mounting holes are 2 inches less in width and 1 inch less in length than the stock Fiero seat mounting holes. After reviewing several options, I elected to cut some 2" bar stock and use it to adapt the new seats to the Fiero seat rails and be able to use the stock seat mounting locations on the floor of the car. To avoid clearance issues, I elected to use countersunk bolts. That ended up working after cutting down an allen wrench to the lowest profile I could manage. Below are some pictures...

I had to move the seats outboard .75" to "center" them. This was a very tight fit on the drivers side between the center hump and the e-brake handle. The Corbeau GTS-II seat is just a little wider than the stock Fiero seat but the bolsters are quite a bit higher. I am hoping that the inner door handle will fit ok and not push on the side of the seat when the door is closed. There is just enough room to tilt the seat back forward and back without getting hung up on the headliner but I definitely feel a couple of inches higher when sitting in these seats compared to my stock Fiero seats. I am hoping that I will be happy with that. My head is only about an inch from the roof...

From Fiero Tom. This looks great mounted in the car and it works fine. I still need to get another set of dot matrix aux gauge and HVAC/Radio bezels, I accidentally let my good ones go with my other Fiero when I sold it... Dohhhhh!

Is that modded to have an aux in on the front? Pretty sweet. I wonder if that would work with the Grand Prix HUD.

Yes, Fiero Tom is modding these for a front panel aux input and it works great!

Here is a link to his thread.

Finished installing the new carpet. Bought it from stockinteriors.com. It's not perfect but it is a very nice upgrade from the original worn out carpet. Installing it was a pita and it took around 12 hours total for the whole job.
I'll post a pic or two tomorrow.
