I've run through the archives and come up with next to nothing. I've got some free time this month and what better way to spend it than FINALLY dying the interior.

I'm thinking a two-tone dash, black top/tan bottom, black A & B pillars. I'm not sure about the door panels/armrests, and the lower door molding that runs along the floor. Anyone got any pictures they can post for my viewing pleasure?

Exactly why I thought of it. A lot of Swedish cars use that color scheme. My brother's Volvo uses it too, and it looks great.

Complete Carpet package came out of Mr. Mikes in Florida, but he doesn't offer the carpet any longer.

The interior in my 88GT is just as you describe. I can't post pics and you don't have e-mail or I would've sent them. If somebody can post some pics, please e-mail me and I'll send them 2u for posting ...

the interior on my black formula is the stock beechwood. With the exception of the dash, guage cluster, radio surround, aux guages, steering wheel and shift surround are all black. I dont have pics, but it does look nice, and beats paying premium prices for beechwood parts.

There have been a number of black/tan cars... I have loved that look ever since I first spotted it in a Ferrari a number of years ago.

I've been quite a fan of Wolfhound's interior: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20020118-1-009401.html

And then Joe (KissMySSFiero) sent me these pics last year after we talked about the same thing

I'm hopefully going to be doing something simliar in the near future... with the exception of keeping my wood-trim on the guages!

------------------

Looking for Fiero posters?

Those pics arent my car. My interior isnt that Clean or nice. But thats where I got the idea. IMO, it looks better with the beechwood too.

The seats are from an 88 Starion; the plastic thing on the passenger's seat back is actually a cupholder/fold-out mini-tray I got at PepBoys to hold my coffee. The interior is black and buckskin, courtesy of CoolCat and Kevin.

Anyone notice the big red START button where the headlight switch used to be - just like a dodge Viper only different ....

Thanks Minn ...now my car needs an agent

I have got this photo in my photo archive. This is beautiful tan/black interior of some very nice Formula 3800SC.

I have got one question: WHOSE CAR IS IT? Wonderful Formula!

That yellow Formula in the picture above is Phil R's. He's got an SC3800 and goes on the power tours. Nice car.

PaulJK.. That is a gorgeous looking interior. I think I see speakers mounted in your doors, where did you get those speakermounts? And how did you do the start button? I'm a huge fan of that start button.

Stock Fiero tan interiors look like hell because they use too many shades of tan in too many places. The 3rd and 4th pictures in MinntGreens post is what it should have looked like. Very cool.

Thanks Greg. The speakers in the doors are just temporary until I can get another way to mount them. My kit car will use cutom door panels and I plan to re-do the interior on this black GT next year - I'm leaning toward a lambo interior with digital gauges if I can sell my condo soon - also somekind of body work. I had to cut a little bit in a circlar shape in the door metal to get them mounted - but they are ADS mid-bass 4 inch speakers that are not even 2 " deep. The START button came from AutoZone. I put them in both my fieros. Just be careful to use at least 10 gauge wire NOT the wire that comes with the switch. The wire with the switch is not heavy enough and will cause intermittant starting problems. Use # 10 and everything works fine. i also installed automatic headlights when I moved the HL switch - now Im not constantly hitting the switch everytime i'm in and out of a parking structure.

Phil, I am pleased to meet you here. Your Formula is excellent! V6 3800 Supercharged and tan/black interior is my favorite combination...
