I cant remember who it is on the forum that makes the black lexan trim pieces for our beloved cars, but only 3 of his 4 pieces will work in my car anyway due to my latest addition to the formula. I installed a turbo Sunbird gauge cluster into a fiero gauge pod and then wired it into my car. So to match the black plexi trim pieces i'm going to buy we had to make a 1 off gauge cluster face plate and here are the results!
The Sunbird gauge cluster in the Fiero Pod
The original Fiero faceplate
The modified Sunbird faceplate that was cut to fit into the Fiero Pod.. The problem is the lower section of the face plate doesn't match the contours of the Pod like the Fiero face plate does.
Datacop prototyped the new combination faceplate out of 1/4" plywood to get the forms proper.. this was the last wood prototype before we went to "production"
Plexiglass piece cut and freshly painted
Finally, the piece set over the Sunbird cluster in the Fiero Pod! keep in mind this is just loosely set in since the paint is not yet cured, and the flash does not due the finish justice!
