I hope you plan on letting us see what those tips look like once they're installed!
Tonight after threatening Pontiackid to get his headliner done and out of my garage(somewhat ~) we did some work on it... well, he assisted Vinyl... it looks Sweet in person, it needs some work still but so far....

Seriously though... I redid my headliner in vinyl years ago and it was a pain. It turned out great, but it wasn't as easy as it sounds. I bet it's a lot easier with a sunroof... With the full roof, you're really asking the vinyl to stretch a lot else it will pucker. The headliner hole should make that all a lot easier!

We used an entire Large can of the cement to put it on, and theres a few spots that have to get hit again. Vinyl is a PITA to do, but it gives me a chubby looking at it.... my T-Top headliner (done with headliner material) used 1/4 of the smaller can of cement.... also, the headliner board is fiberglassed so no saturation

Damn, it didn't work...all those jokes I cracked weren't meant for moral support...Was trying to demoralize you And what do you mean pass me while I'm getting 30 mpg? Ya gotta drive the thing first before you can pass me...Doesn't help that the car hasn't left Andrews driveway for about a month or 2
You go on with your bad self and your big bad 2.8 V6...Who's gonna be laughing when gas hits $9 a gallon
And you owe me for picking that stuff up from Hulki next weekend...I'm thinking a bit of crawling on your hands and knees is in order...You'll make an excellent footrest

it was only sitting here for 5 days, and thats cuz he was on a business trip to NY that week, the old lady didnt like the "Junker" in the driveway
so this is a little embarresing and mulletproofmonk is probabley goan wana kill me for it, but thanks to back on holidays brains and my grunt work we fixed it, my dad was in a bad mood the other day and my fiero was parked behind his car in the driveway and he starts yellin at me to move it so i did while my new ferrari taillights were hangin off the back by the wires and the passenrer side taillight the inner end of it went under the wheel and broke it dident brake in 2 so me and andrew were able to make it good as new with a little fiber filler geuss i need to be more careful next time cuz i wont be as lucky .

ok so heres a little background about this fiero, It came to me as a 1986 SE notchback with about 76K and some change, I bought it for $500 off of a guy in nj who collects beamers and mercedes he bought it off some elder woman who bought it new back in 86 and drove it daily she was older so she dident drive much. so it was originaly red/gray with no power options and a sunroof the piant started fading and she got it reapinted black only for a few weeks later it got backed into and she got it fixed very cheapley as you can see from the deconstruction pics. the guy bought it off of her to do a V8 swap but drove it daily for a year than he got another daily driver and it sat the last 9years but the good part of the deal was up until a year ago it was stored properley. started every month ran around the block fuel stablizer than 1 day he went to start it and the fuel pump failed so it sat for a year untill his wife said its time for some cars to go so i found it on craigslist went to go see it and i picked it up the next weekend took about $300 to get it running including new brakes and since than i have done the following .
fast back conversion pisa taillights got a hold of a 355 front end and also some of fiero1fans headlight buckets i found a near perfect interion from a car in the junk yard and got seats with speekers in the headrests for $5 a pop and much more is to come
had to edit i was a lil umm intoxicated last night and i got bored
