Hey, Bonzo, I'll probly have mine in a fiew days after I get my car back from the paint shop. I think we've established that no one has installed pics.
I was going to wait until I could get the car outside in the sunlight to take some pics, but with 20+ inches of snow that's not going to happen anytime soon. The lighting is terrible but they do show the CF headliner and my billet aluminum 3rd brake light cover I made.
hey sluppy...do you got a shop light... on an extension cord just lay it there and shut off the flash and snap the pic...then it should show detail..thanks

More pics, still not the greatest but they show some detail.
I still need to pull the headliner back out to install some insulation on the backside and to do some trimming around the 3rd brake light. I didn't want to cut the hole too big the first time so I left it a little tight. Overall I"m pleased with the fit and finish, the hardest part was trying to find the lines that show where to cut the hole for the brake light.
Yo, DKOV, now you need to get your A$$ to work on a CF cover thing (or replacemnt) for that center light thing , lol! J/k. But really, with one of those, it'd look UBER nice!!! lol. I can't wait to get mine in now!
Some are harder to get in small, one liner quantities for a reasonable price because COLORED Darbon Fiber is actually Carbon KEVLAR (they die the Kevlar) and is usually only sold by the roll. The most prominant colors though, are available... Red, Blue, Yellow. Some Purple and some Orange. I've even got samples here of Blue and Yello together... Red and Blue, Purple and Red. I'm just getting a piece of Silver that looks like Polished Aluminum for Elvira and Chester.
Here's Chester's RED and Black Carbon Kevlar HEadliner
I'm working on a Blue one now for a Forum Member.

And how much $$$$ for a hardtop? That looks super-NICE. KUDOS
Most of these guys that have their now, bought during a pre-release sale I had at $189. The plan was to sell them after the first of the year for $249 in either the sunroof or stock configuration. Email me for details

SIlver that looks like polished aluminum ----wooow! Congrads, Scott, looks like you've got a hot product on your hands (if my plans for the roofs on either of my cars was final, I'd be getting that silver
Wow that red looks great. I will be getting a new dash kit later to redo my 88 again in red Carbon fiber to match the exterrior. I will also be ordering one of those in red from you later this year. After I get my 86 running again the Black Carbon will go into it. If I had known about the Red carbon before I bought the kit I would have gone with it. I was wondering if you had any plans to do the Moldings that go around the doors as well cause that would look great.

bonzo- I plan on leaving the sun visors off. I havent had any in the car the past 5 years, the only down side is it's hard to get a sun-shade to stay in the windshield.
The overhead lights were designed with a greater tolerance in mind due to the fact they were being mounted against padded fabric. As noted in the Directions, applying a black foam tape directly at the edge of the maplight before drawing it tight with the mounting screws will eliminate any residudal gap and fit tightly. Plus, the pad virtually disappears against th black CF. Looks really good when it's done.
As with virtually every Fiero on the road, "some assembly is required" and they are not all created equal. So, as always, if you have any issues with the liner, let me know, I'll help.
Another intersting thing we found in making the 3rd brake light covers.... the Sunroof and the Stock liners have DIFFERENT covers. The fitment wasn't quite right on a couple of the Sunroof models and upon further study, we realized they were slight different in shape. We had planned on one mold for all, but needed to fix it for TWO. Odd. But anyway, new covers are out and fitting fine now.
Feedback is important to continuing to build the products better.
Thanks

looks great ... how water resistant is carbon fiber ? because i have a leaky sunroof and im hoping that the new gasket is going to fix that ... but if by chance it doesnt will it damage the carbon fiber in anyway ?
razor wing, do u think there is anything u can use to 'cap' the headliner part? I know the stock setup raps the fabric around and into the metal trim, wondering if anything like that could be done? Perhaps if you use a wider strip, like a windshield seal, if it would help just to clean up the gap any bit?
