I was thinking of some newer Grand Am or Grand Prix wheels, but I have no idea if they will fit on a Fiero.

I realize you said Pontiac, but I also see alot of Ebay ads selling a set of wheels that includes Fiero/PT Cruiser.

The Vibe does however. If I recall correctly so does the Aztek.. I could be wrong though.

Headlight motors from 82-86 Firebirds are the same as used in 84-86 Fieros. Motors in 87-92 (I think 92) motors are the same as those used in 87/8 Fieros. I think they have to be swapped side for side though. Ogre says the Sunbird motors will also fit. See article in his Cave and also the one at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/5007/fiero_osg/headlights.html.
Headlight modules from 87-92? Firebirds are identical to the ones used in 87/8 Fieros.

Mirrors on Firebirds and Camaros from the same years that the Fiero was produced are the same, including power units.

Power window motors (but probably not the regulators?) and power door lock actuators are also the same from like years of Firebirds and Camaros.

PW and PM switches are exactly the same in some years of Firebirds/Camaros. Since all these electrical items are the same, then so are the connectors. Even if the actual wiring harness is different in the F bodies, the connectors can be used to fabricate your own wiring harnesses (to upgrade to genII headlight motors, for example) or to replace connectors that may be damaged in your Fiero.

I just took a rear wing of an 86 Firebird (has 3rd brake light) and it is gonna look nice on my car -- and it was Cheap. It is the same shape as the Fiero wing but not as wide (from front to back) and maybe sits lower. I had about given up on ever finding a wing for my 85 GT project car but bought this one a couple weeks ago from the u-pull-it.

Many have mentioned getting hood struts from different cars to install on the rear decklid to compensate for having the wrong torsion springs when adding or removing a wing or luggage rack. I could never figure out just which ones they meant and I don't want to pay a lot of money for one especially since what I am really looking for is a set of the correct springs to go in my GT. But, in the meantime, I scavenged a hood prop rod from a small Ford pickup and mounted it to my rear decklid so I don't have to keep putting that long stick up everytime I am working back there.

I found an EGR cover on some mid-80's GM car that fits my Fiero perfectly. Someone occassionally sells these on ebay.

I've got an in-dash OEM Pontiac CD player from a '96 Sunfire(?)...
============================================================================================================

How about auto dimming mirrors from just about any other car that has one

============================================================================================================

Grab a Fiero front swaybar and linkages, and slap 'er in the rear
============================================================================================================

The hood strut for the rear deck lid is off a 84-87 Cutlass. I just redid this and got a new one from Pepboys, it works great.
Mid 90's Sunbird Turbo style scoops, look like same year TA's only backward.

===========================================================================================================

"Ram Air V6" emblems from late model Grand Ams. You must have a turbo on your Fiero or you are a ricer!
Also, 6000 STE (the upper end model) has the same steering wheel as the 86+ GT's. (minus the "Fiero GT" horn cap)

6000, Sunbird and I am sure others use the same stereo as the push-button Fiero stereos.

Early Sunbirds (around 86) use the same horn-paddle steering wheel as the 86-88 SE, Formula and Coupe Fieros.

Late 80's Turbo Sunbirds have nice hood vents that look pretty nice on the hoods of Fieros (and lets air escape from under the hood).

C4 Corvette roof section (targa top) is the same deminsion as the Fiero roof section.

===========================================================================================================

Grand Am seats,swap the tracks with the Fiero tracks and they bolt right in.About a hours work. They come in gray or tannish brown.Two door seats fold forward like the Fiero,four door seats do not fold at all.
Don't forget things like 120mph gauges and aux gauges,they bolt right in too.

The late eighties Cutlass Ciera has plastic caps on the front shock towers to cover the strut shaft and nut so they don't show..I think these covers would fit on the rear strut towers of the Fiero

===========================================================================================================

no one has mentioned a 82 corvette Master cylinder upgrade, it doesnt look stock but it works like a damn and the pontiac ste axle upgrade. factory fiero axles are something like 23mm where as the ste is something like 25mm.
===========================================================================================================

I just installed cavalair??? seats Black cloth with a cool pattern in them. Direct bolt on to the Fiero tracks, plus they are REALLY comfortable.
They also sit about 1/2 an inch lower.
===========================================================================================================

I am surprised no one has mentioned the amazing CRX ram air intake.
Take a 88-91 CRX Si raing ram air intake and plop, it under the hood of a fiero and it works and looks great.

I hear it is easier to do on the auto's though rather then the manuals. I can't quite remeber why though

===========================================================================================================

The sun visors from a LeBaron are a direct bolt-in. This lets you have lighted visors. I collected them to the power supply in the overhead lights.
You can use the overhead console from a Grand Am, also, as long as you don't mind modifying the headliner. I used one so that I could have a nice, neat driving light switch that looked stock.

I know that 88 and 89's will work, as well as the one's from a Shadow. I think that all of the last series of LeBaron coupes use the same visors. I just got an 1990 LeBaron and they look pretty close also
Another semi-bolt-on mod: The power seat base in an Olds Calais will bolt up to a stock Fiero seat. The seat bases must be changed, however, to bolt on to the floor. Also, the seat switch must be moved, as it interferes with the e-brake.


I did both of these, and a electrically dimming mirror, while I had the headliner out to put on a GT rear clip.

===========================================================================================================


I saw a molded steering wheel from a newer Grand Am or Sunbird on a Fiero in a used car lot. Couldn't figure out what car it came from but it had the Pontiac emblem on it and looked like it belonged. Had horn paddles like the SE and Formula wheels but was a newer style.
If anyone knows what car this could be from I would think it's a bolt-on and a nice upgrade for your melted, sagging leather wheel.

I just did that exact thing this last weekend and it was a breeze. The A Arms had holes in the correct spots and it was easy to drill the holes in the back end of the cradle for the sway bar brackets. I used a 2 5/8 in polyurethane end link kit from Energy Suspensions. $13 for the sway bar at the local Pick-a-Part and $15 for the end link kit at Pep Boys. About 2 hrs to drill and mount it up. I took my time and made sure everything fit perfect. It could be done in a lot less time.

===========================================================================================================

How about brakes?
Blazer Master Cylinder upgrade
Grand AM calipers/rotors
Beretta front calipers
Lebaron calipers/rotors
===========================================================================================================

EGR covers fron Cadillac and Oldsmobles

Drive axles are interchangeable with all the X-series GM cars, such as Citations, Omegas, Phoenixes, Skylarks.

I just talked to a guy last tuesday who had Vibe wheels on his notchie. I didnt know that the wheels were 17 inch!

By the way, he did mention that he had to grind out the inside centers a little because the Fiero hubs are a little too big for the Vibe wheels.

Here is my 88GT with the 16" Vibe wheels. The center hole did have to be machined to the 57.1mm GM/Fiero hub ring size. I only had the hole machined 15mm infrom the rear face of the wheel so that the stock Vibe center caps would still fit. The wheels would work great on a 84-87 but the offset (39mm) and wheel width (6.5") push the outside-edge of the front wheel out 8mm (3/8") and tuck the outside-edge of the rear wheels inboard 12mm (1/2"). I have just installed 8mm thick spacers on the rear of mine to get the rear closer to where it was with the stock wheels.

Turbotoad.....the guy Im referring to didnt have wheels like yours. His were flat-spoked 17" wheels. I guess the Vibe comes with more than a few different patterns and rim sizes......Oh, and he told me he simply used a Dremel to enlarge the center area.
You had yours machined?
