The outer dew wipes commonly become brittle and fall apart over the years – mine were cracking badly. I bought a set of NOS OEM dew wipes from a local Fiero owner.
It took about 2.5 hours to install.
With the Ferrari 355 nose, I lost the side marker lights. So in order to comply with Ontario law, I needed to re-install marker “signal” lights on the Fiero. A few months back I saw a real Ferrari 360 Modena in Toronto, and the Modena had simple round marker lights – they looked good. So …
With the mounting plate finished and painted, the stereo system was completely installed. The system sounds great great (4x50w) and the iPod integration works terrific. Surprisingly this was an easy installation, and only took 3-4 hours (total time).
I finished the installation of the Fiero sub woofers, and powered up the SST radio for a test run. I still have a wiring mess to hide, …but it sounded great!
I finished mating the SST harness to the Fiero radio harness. I bought the Fiero radio harness off eBay for $5. It allows you to adapt any radio harness to the stock harness. It also allows quick disconnect/reconnect for servicing – all without cutting any wires.
The new SST radio comes with a flush mounting kit. This allows the controller to be mounted “properly” in the dash – rather than using the standard bracket. In order to mount it in the Fiero, …like everything else, …fabrication needs to be done. I used 16 gauge steel to create a mounting plate.
My new audio system arrived in the mail the other day. It is called the Secret Audio SST – “Stealth Sound Technology”. In other words it is a radio system designed for vehicles without a standard radio/deck DIN size.
I need to install the interior door panels, …and finish installing the sound system, …but aside from those two elements, the interior is done.
Been almost 2 years since I drove this car. Since the plate stickers are not valid (April 2006 was the expiry date) I just took it for a spin around the block. I took some HD video as well.
After 2 years, the seats are back in the Fiero. I can actually sit in the car now. In the pic I have a pair of old seat covers on them. I want to keep them protected for the remaining installations.
