If I remember right, stock Fiero dashes were slightly narrower than 3rd gens

Either way youd need a 100% custom console to fit right, the middle of the Fiero dash is covered by the console and it would come about 6" above the 3rd gen console

Id like to see some pics if you decide to go for it

Fieros and related things always were cool to me

The Fiero dashes have a "pod" that holds the instruments, and hangs out from the actual dash by about 8". They're really quite odd. I had three of them at one time. Space for the ECM would be a problem, as well as space for the HVAC ducts.

I think what he is talking about is one of those dashes that look like a ferrari or lambo dash. like this.



think it would be hard cause our cars are a lot wider.

custom make it - remove your dash, use 1/4'' square tubing to frame it and makem mounting points. frame out everything, a/c controls, radio, gauges, vents, etc.

Fiberglass it, or enclose it with light metal and have it covered in leather or something.
