Hey I,

I ordered the same wheel for my 88 and they do AMAZING work! You'll be very happy with the look and feel.

I did - the quality of work is just top notch. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Very nice, I have always disliked the feel of the stock steering wheel wishing there was a bit more to it.

That steering wheel looks awesome and very nice that it is factory looking but I called that guy and it is NOT CHEAP!!! Of course quality work should not be but I think for my money an aftermarket wheel may be my best bet as my factory wheel is kinda rough looking. Very nice touch tho.... enjoy it...peace

Oh and another thing, I REALLY like the looks of the side scoops on the conceptual drawing of your car. Are these available somewhere or are they something you dreamed up, either way they really look cool on that car in the picture. Peace

Jimmy has them at Fiero Fiberglass. I believe his stick out a little rather than recess but I could be wrong.

Wow I have not seen them before, they do look nice but I am thinking I like the ones in the picture up top better. Does anyone have some pics of these installed and painted on a car? I had been favoring the more simple arced ones that he sells but the ones in this thread really make the car look more aggressive. Perhaps it is just my taste is all..... peace

I love that steering wheel Will! What is a ballpark figure that he charges to do the re-wraps?

I look forward to seeing you on Aug 24th here in West Palm Beach for the Photoshop class. Maybe during the lunch break, I can treat you to lunch, and we can Talk all things Fiero

i dont know about the Ferrari front end but hey, if you can pull it off and make it look good than man that will be one cool fiero gt. I like the blue too. As a choice of engine option go with an LSx motor that would be cool too.

What are the red lenses from or are they just off the shelf... I wish someone would come up with a replacement outer lense for the SE to get rid of the clouds and scratches...

I am also amazed how intertwined so many electrical problems are. For example, my car sits at the airport a lot and I nearly always come home very late at night. More often than not when I turn on my headlights my right bucket didn't come up all the way. I wrongly assumed it was a headlight in need of a rebuild. After installing Rory's belt tensioner last week my voltometer is reading 3 volts higher and my headlights come all the way up and my once very slow window lifts now work very fast. Awesome product and a great asset to the Fiero community. Thanks Rory!


Pics of the belt tensioner?

Will, the lights look good so far! I was looking through the service manual thinking about your turn signal/brake light thing you would like to accomplish. The problem is, I forgot exactly what you are trying to accomplish versus what you have now. PM me with the details and I will do my best to offer a solution.
