Just for fun interesting fact, I decided to post the differences between all the Fiero gauge face plates. I don't have pictures of them all, but I do have what I think is the least known fact.
Yearly differences in surface finish-
84 Gray-Brushed Pewter
84 Tan- Roman Bronze
85-87 Grey-Oxford Gray
85-87 Tan-Oxford Tan (my personal name for it...as there is no actual name for it that I have seen anywhere)
88-Dot Matrix

Now for the interesting stuff

This is the difference in size. The one with the larger holes is used with the back-lit V6 gauges, the smaller one is used with the front lit L4 and 85 V6 gauges (the ones with the oil pressure gauge in the Tachometer..voltmeter in the Tach means 84 and that's a different surface finish but same size)

This is the difference between 85-87 tan and grey interior panels..hope you can see the difference..it's more noticeable in person. The aux faceplate is the tan one.

If you already know all this, cool, move right along, this is for the people who don't know.

Thanks Matt, I didn't know the differences. I have an oddball piece in my car now that I need to find.

Look in the P & I catalog for the names of things like this.
