Dennis,
I mounted it via the top tabs only. Before installation, however, I was mildly concerned those wouldn't be enough. Consequently, I trial-fit them first and was impressed at how solid the panel was. I had one minor issue during the trial fit....all of the Fiero OEM light sockets were low profile with the wiring exiting at 90 degrees parallel to the panel with the exception of the two outermost sockets. They each extended straight out and probably a full three inches. That was fine for the stock light panel, but as the Driven Visions panel moved the outermost lights inward toward the center of the panel by a couple inches, the OEM sockets now interfered with a support for the OEM panel. The fix was to order two low profile sockets for 2057 bulbs that exited the wiring at 90 degrees. Cost all of $6.99 for the pair delivered! Spliced them in, soldered and shrink-wrapped. See the photo.

Clever ! I had to notch the supports that stood in the way on my C4 panel install. Might have to do the same with the Pisa Euro panel. As for the lenses you chose, they look super. You are one of the lucky few to have this panel. When Joe from Driven Visions past away all of his great custom parts were never recreated making your panel a rare piece. Most of his parts that gave a customized look were absolutely beautiful.

Installed last night. I'm guessing most people will assume the car came from the factory like that. The new look works well with the car. Definitely appropriate for an American sports car!
