Well it's actually me neighbors. He's the one that helped me with my headers. He used own a big custom bodyshop in SoCal, and when he moved up here, he built a damn big garage. Right in the middle, he has a booth to the equivalent of about a 3-car garage. It has air plugins down the wall, a huge filtering ventilation thingy, etc. He paints A LOT of cars, and said if I'd buy the paint (~$600), we'd paint my Fiero. I'm hoping I won't have to take him up on that, as I'd rather spend the 600 on something else, and I have no interest in painting cars.

I'm considering chopping all comments after and including this one due to CRYZONE's request for moderation of this topic, anyone opposed?

Sorry. Missed your question until now. That's a PontiacSound (?) console built to spec for a JL 10W6v2. It is quite a bit larger than the stock console. When I get to my interior I plan on throwing it behind the seat and matching it with another on the other side.

Boy, that's a rare piece. That guy was a crook! You must have got one of the two or 3 he actually delivered. What did you have to do, brake some toes?

oh damn!! repairing that would be a PITA - time to find a new frame

that the exact reason that i'd love to have a chance to take the fiero down to bare frame and por-15 the whole damn thing

That's what I intend to do with my Formula. I picked it up earlier this year for $300, runs and drives and all. I want to take some time and make it nice. Nicer that is, the interior is near mint, but the paint is burned off the top. It sat in this guys yard for 8 years. I literally had to dig it out.

thanks. just found it in an older photo shoot.

i didn't get to paint it over the summer because i blew up my transmission and had to deal with a getrag swap

All put back together!

I'm beginning to like this angle better than a rear quarter shot!

With a setup like your's, I can see why. But the rest of us own 4wd Fieros that have 3" gaps :la:

Cut your front springs and get some coilovers.
Believe it or not, with that ride height I don't bottom out anywhere and the ride is still very nice even with polyurethane everywhere to boot!

Yeah, 2001 porsche boxster rims.
