You can pick up a set at Home Depot or the equivelent. Shouldnt cost very much, and its not hard to do. I put a new interior in my Mustang (No flames, its a 65 GT with a 293 and headers w/ 4 speed) and it wasnt too hard, just gotta be careful and take your time.

Your best bet is to take them to a good auto upholstery shop. They have the material to fill up those low spots, and will give your Fiero a much better look and feel......and not damage your wallet as much as you think.

Doug -- I have a set of pliers that I don't need. I'll grab a box of hog rings from the hardware store. $1.97 100ct.

Pointers: A good set of heavy wire cutters, cotton gloves, mark the locations of the hog rings as you remove them with a felt pen. Buy a racheting 13mm wrench too.

I will email you full instructions.

Thanks, Chris

If you can't get them locally, I think JCWhitney.com and eastwoodco.com have them. try whitless first. they'll likely be cheaper than eastwood.

Where are/were they in Home Depot? It could take days to find anything in that place...
