fierosails has helped me with some things.  I've bought from them for about 5 years.  Unfortunately, they can't do dithering.

If you look in my introduction post, I mention Paul's help.

I'll have to show you my centercaps, sometime.  Mine aren't decals, though.

Actually, the sail panels on my SE were also made by fierosails:


I'd really like to meet him, some time.

Nice. Looks like it's wired up already? Find an 87-88 duke fiero ecm tray to mount that puppy up.

I have the tray.  I just need someone to program the ECU.

The pickup has been pushed back a month.  I want this job done right, without rushing.

For some reason, my left front parking light sits high in the hole, and doesn't match.  This really triggers one of my OCD's, apparently.  I plan to refinish the mounting brackets, anyway, but how the heck does something enclosed like a parking light get out of alignment?

I know that the left one in my 86SE sits high because I've been working with it to find out why it doesn't illuminate.  I found it had an 1157 bulb in it instead of the 2057 bulb, but that didn't change the illumination problem that developed when I changed to the generation 2 system. 

I haven't looked at the 87 and 88 parking lights in a while, but I know the 86's left light is high.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I can do a program for you. Post auto or manual, mods to the motor, tire size (if not stock).  $150 first program, $250 for one year ongoing. Postage not included. If ongoing, you'll have to provide logging data to get it right.
If you'd like to learn this yourself (if you're ocd, It's like crack, so be careful), we can walk you through it.

Ok.  I'll see what he says (the guy who has the computer).

Looks like I'll be replacing my rear shocks.  KYB, Koni, or...?

I love my KYB shocks. Well worth the money in my opinion.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

What was the 7730 in previously?  It may be programmed already?

Somewhere, I've got to find a pigtail for the digital EGR.
