Yup Amida has the best interiors in the world! I have one for mine, well at least I have the dash I am still trying to decide if I want to go with the center console too. If you are looking for an acurate dash there is none better in the world!

I just noticed that there is a sun roof I am going to have to get rid of!!  ......hmmmm, that may be tricky! Has anyone done this before? I am thinking of removing all the rubbersealing that is exposed on the roof, and epoxy the heck out of it to seal, and fill it and sand it smooth. Do you think it will crack? Thanks Norm, I called Motorsport Specialties and got a message to contact them via their website. www.usacomp.com so I did, and now I wait for a reply on the rims!!  |

If you'd like to get rid of your sunroof and make your Fiero a hardtop then you'll need to WELD a contoured piece of metal and close the sunroof opening....I had to do the same on a 928 which has a much smaller electric sunroof....Fiberglassing it and bondo will crack eventually because the sunroof opening is too big on a Fiero

I have been emailing fiero conversions back and forth and he is saying that 17" will rub on the frame and no bigger than 16"  ? BTW $3000 usd basically shipping included  . I am still waiting to hear from usacomp for a reply. Matt- How much do you want for your 16"s??? |

You should have no problems with 17" wheels.. |

Can someone post up a picture of a 17" composite rim and tire mounted on the front and rear of a fiero frame.

" Tires are no problem. Will run about 200 dollars per tire." - that was his response when I asked him how hard it was to find tires for the 16" |

" What happened about 7 years ago we built an f40 and put 17 inch wheels on. As he turned the wheel the tire rubbed against front frame. Just an FYI but it is up to you. Keep in mind we have been doing this since 1990. Sue" - another quote from fiero conversions

Guys I bought a set of Michelin XGT 315/40 16 rear tires with stickers on them from a guy in Tucson for $200 2 months ago. Place called Red Line Service. He had them on E Bay under Michelin 16 inch tires. He also had a set of 245's (my fronts) and another set of 315's on auction, that were in almost new condition. The 315's fit on my 11 inch rear compomotive 16 inch rims, and are the proper tire for that rim. I went through all the drag stuff and ended up with temporary Goodrich TA 295/50 16's but they added an inch to the ride height, and were overall 2 inches larger in diameter than the Michelins. They DID rub on bumps. My 245's on the front do contact the fender wells in tight corners, but are not an issue on normal driving. The car is like a gocart to drive! I would check on E Bay, or contact Chuck at RedLine to see if he still has the other complete set if you go with 16 inch rims. They came off a Porsche turbo as recall. My F40 is really starting to shape up- getting the Momo racing seats done in red leather this week here in Mazatlan for under $400 US. Steve

I beg to disagree...All Fieros are mfg'd to have sunroofs. You just need a roof section and headliner off a Fiero that does not have one. Bob |
