I was thinking if I changed the dash, I'd just go all-in with an Amida g6 dash. Otherwise, just recover the old dash with vinyl. I don't think leather would hold up to the relentless sun my daily driver experiences. Plus, it stretches better under a heat gun for less stitching to make the rounds and fillets that make up the contours of our charming, but whacky 80's dashboard.

Is Amida still around?  Haven't seen him post for a while.  No reply in his threads.

Anyone recall a video of some Fieros racing in Norway/Sweden?  One of them had a great interior.

It wasn't a getaway in Stockholm, was it?

I had no idea they used a Fiero for any of those.  Maybe I'll look for it another day after the kids are asleep.  I'm struggling to stay awake tonight, because I couldn't sleep last night.  When the kids go to bed, I'll be done, tonight.

Can't recall if I saw the video here or on Pennocks.

Another interior.  I wouldn't call this a completed project, but there's potential.

I was numerous samples of Mr. Mike's seats today.  My personal opinion, but the best result seemed to be be achieved in cases where the seats had extra padding added in the seat cushion and the seat color matched the center console color.  For those who upholster their door panels also, this color should either match the seats or be entirely different.  I spoke with the car owners, and those without matching colors seemed to have regrets.
