'93 Grand Am Dash and steering column swap....<$200 before vinyl, plus about 100hrs labor. No f-body dashes available in the yards 2 years ago, so I did this instead. I still like it.
That looks real good.... And it looks like it belongs there...................... More pics please!
Just finished most of this one. Plust notice the 4th gen firebird dash. Whadda ya think. All the glass was hand layed, no molds. So i kinda had to wing it. This is the first layer, and it will get a sand and another layer today.

Not exactly a Fiero mod, but we took a set of aux gauges from a Fiero GT and stuck them in the dash vents of our Saturn SC2 race car, covered it with the original cover and they looked stock after having a set of faces made...
This was taken before we recieved the faces... You can see my silver '85 SE in the background...

I don't have a ignition key cylinder anymore. I have a touch on, touch off button for ignition, and a momentary button for start. They are in the middle of my shift knob. Keys were invented when cars were. OLD outdated technology.
Just because someone will ask, yes when I arm the alarm, the buttons are disabled, and NO I couldn't afford the fingerprint sensor like on the german cars.

well i don't think any of my stuff is truly "unique" but some is rare. most would be easily copied first off, i made my own white face gauges, blue needles, and blue lighting: and just for fun an idea of what this means is possible for me(just need to find a design i like) as far as i know i was the first to put this spoiler on(might not last the summer though, kinda tired of it)

i'm installing a screen in the dash(been done many times) but in a different way then i've seen before: and i did the stereo thing as well, behind the seat subs, 6.5's in the dash, and 6.5 components in the doors:

i made my own tailights, copied the design off stevenrossi though: the rest is just small stuff, mostly switches and lights. making my own multicolored underbody kit, neons/leds behind the vents and some other places in the interior, and some new "idiot lights" sound deadener nothing else i'm ready to reveal yet anyway. but aside from paint, everything on my car was built by myself one off, whether i knew how to do it or not i just keep given'r til i get it right

yeah, i think i've learned my lesson about ordering things from a catalogue with black and white photos about an inch big with the words items not exactly as shown written underneath. but if i get rid of it, i need a stock one to put on and to patch up some holes. so until i find the money and time to do both it shall stay. the only good thing about the spoiler is that it REALLY quickly lets me see who is out there for the hobby, and who is out there cause "it's cool". of course there are exceptions but it seems the "cool" thing is to hate ricers right now, so ppl show me their ignorance all the time. it's kinda funny though, when ppl in rusted out station wagons give you a thumbs down. like i care, lol.

7 of the panels came from (a now out of business I think) shop in Canada. (I think the name was R.S.M.) The glove box one was custom made for me by fellow PFF member DXR_DAD.
I took my stock antenna off, grabbed the lil ball on top with vise grips, and twisted it off. I then cut the length down to a lil lower then the roof line, and glued the ball back on. Painted the whole thing rattle can black, and reinstalled. Looks ALOT better. I still get all the same stations and clarity, with no notice of degradation. I work with a guy who is an electrical genious, and he told me they are a certain length for a reason, but I havent noticed any difference.
I just posted these recently, but what the hell, I figure that since thier taking up space on Cliffs server they might as well be seen, LOL It should come to life this weekand, then work on the custom body kit can begin!
Here is the 92 W-body ECM, which will be upgraded with a ROM Emulator, Located in the factory location. A Profile of the engine Compartment, yeah, it's dirty, but it ain't done yet. Here is the Underhood fuse panel also where the air box will be. The New Instrument Cluster Surround I've been fabricating, something different. The other side, also showing my custom short shifter.
