I personally think Fiero conversions are hilarious and amazing.

(not a Lambo)


(not a Ferrari)


(also not a Ferrari)


(not a Miura)


(not an Testarossa)


(not a Corvette)


(not a Countach)


(not a Fiero )


(not a Jeep)


(not a Firebird, because they couldn't even leave their own make alone)


(Converted Fiero, not that I care about the car here)

I love the silly phase. It's my fave.

No. This time is the time that it's "ok to complain". The pics above all look really good but... it's still a Fiero

Should I go take a pic of my steering wheel? Not much better.

Seems like a good time for me to say something I've been holding back:

I HATE our steering wheel. Feels like a cheap truck wheel.

Well congratulations the new one will have buttons!!! I'm sure someone would love to trade you!

You could just get a different one 86worx has a very nice selection of wheels that take the airbag or ones for quick disconnect

Meh. I'm still under warranty but I don't want to replace it because I prefer it to the second gen material. The newer ones are thicker and too hard.

Could always straight out sell it I guess if you felt like funding a new one. I'm sure there will be a demand come fall.

Until now I hadn't thought of that... maybe I'll sell mine and get one... hmmm

Thanks! I only knew of the TRD one that would keep the airbag.

Many thanks to the suspension council and everyone else who helped @finch1750 @jawn @MisterSheep

Put on the RCE Yellows and the 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in the back. Still on stock wheels and tires and this just makes the car looks so much better. More aggressive stance without scraping, wheels are flush, and the fender gap is smaller and the same width all the way around.
