	Pontiac Fiero 1989-1990: This infamous model is one that is cherished by many Fiero enthusiasts. Owned by GM, this vehicle was recently displayed at the 25th anniversary Fiero car show in Michigan, Detroit. It features a 200+ HP DOHC V-6 and resembles both the the fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. The styling on this model was a further evolution of the top-line 1988 GT. Note the deep body-side sculpture ending in an air scoop and sleek roof sail panel.

	Pontiac Fiero 1984 Indy Pace Car: This vehicle was the first 4-cylinder Indy pace car since 1912 and also the first mid-engined pace car. It is the prototype for a series of 2000 replica pace cars produced and sold by Pontiac. Its 2.7L Super Duty 165 CID Pontiac engine pumps 234 HP (at 6500 RPM) with a Holley 2-barrel carburetor and makes speeds up to 136 MPH, which made it one of the fastest pace cars ever to run at Indy up to that date. Owned by GM, this model was recently displayed in the 25th anniversary Fiero car show in Michigan, Detroit.
	Pontiac Fiero 1984 Indy Pace Car: Modifications to the actual Indy pace car include: Special roof ram-air intake for the 2.7L Super Duty 165 CID engine, new side and rear skirts and a functional rear-deck wing to add aerodynamic efficiency to the car, four tube headers and low restriction resonation exhaust, 16-inch aluminum wheels and Goodyear Eagle tires.

	Pontiac Fiero 1986 GT: Although this model looks like a fastback, it was made out of an earlier 4-speed SE. When the top is down, it is stored under the lift-up hatch. It was designed and built by Pontiac Engineering to test the side-opening rear deck. The red leather interior also complements the design. The car also has a fully operational manual top, uses production doors and door skins, including the Fiero's standard roll-up windows.
	Pontiac Fiero 1986 GT: The rear compartment opens from the side, you manually fold the top down, close the decklid, and put the boot on.

Decklid Gas Strut: After installing the factory spoiler, the decklid torsion bars were too weak to support the additional weight.

Grab yourself a gas strut bar from an automotive shop (i.e. Canadian Tire)

This code should give you a strut that is 16 inches long when fully extended

Remove the first of the three bolts on the bracket connected to the decklid; shown here is the passenger side bolt

Since the original Fiero bolt is too short, purchase one where the upper portion is threadless

Remove the bolt closest to you; if you do not remove it, space will be limited

Drill a hole (15/64') about an inch and a half away from the bolt you removed in the previous step; recall that this is the bracket holding the grill vent

Grab yourself another bolt about 3.5 inches in length; sleeved 2 cm's and threaded 1 cm

This is how is should appear from the inside of the bracket

Some additional photos

Recall Decklid Weather-strip: This rubber gasket runs along the outer edge of the decklid to prevent excessive water from seeping into the engine bay. It was recalled by Pontiac dealerships, as it was assumed that the engine compartment gets too hot in its presence. However, not only does it serve its purpose as a water barrier, it makes the engine compartment look complete. It can be installed with the decklid intact, but it is recommended that the decklid be removed.

Oil Pressure Sensor Switch: The original would transmit faulty readings, especially after long trips; installing this corrects the problem.

Stock OEM Passenger Side Rocker Panel: Painted to match the car's original metallic silver, side-skirt colour (M Code 14; WA-8924).

Stock OEM Pontiac Fiero GT Spoiler: Painted to match the car's original metallic gold colour (M Code 56; WA-8962).

Low Temperature Fan Switch: This allows the engine to run cooler by automatically switching on the radiator fan when the engine reaches a temperature of 210 F (99 Celsius). Once the engine has cooled to 200 F (93 Celsius), the radiator fan switches off allowing for a continuous cycle. It is recommended that a 180 F thermostat be used in conjugation with this switch. Purchased from Rodney Dickman's Fiero Accessories.

HELP Striker Bolt (Part # 38421): This prevents the door from rattling when driving over bumpy roads.

Rear Sway Bar: Added a stock front sway bar to the rear engine cradle. Adding this sway bar prevents the vehicle from oversteer (fish-tailing) to its suspension system. The car now turns more neutrally (See illustration below). If you plan on driving your Fiero in the winter, this is not an upgrade you want to pursue because you tend to lose traction.

Maremont Muffler: Stock OEM muffler.

Dual Steering Damper/Stabilizer: A second steering damper induces greater stability while driving on city roads. These heavy-duty adapters were designed to bolt two steering dampers together.

Catco Catalytic Converter: This catalytic converter simply bolts on to the original Fiero pipes using 2-1/4 inch u-clamps. However, rather than bolting it on, it was welded instead. Purchased from Rodney Dickman's Fiero Accessories.

Delorean (DMC) Horns: High tone and low tone horns. Installation is very simple. Jack the front end, remove a single bolt holding the old Fiero horn and install the new one; repeat for the other side.

New Headliner Fabric: Used a full aerosol spray can of Super 90 3M Adhesive.

Painted engine bay grills: Mar-Hyde black satin paint and clear coated with engine enamel using ceramic (Duplicolor DE1636). The photo taken of the engine bay vent (shown below) does contain clear coat.

Tail lights (P O N T I A C) and brake lights: Brighter rear lighting. Purchased from Rodney Dickman's Fiero Accessories

Power door lock system: Installed door lock actuators by mounting them onto two solid brackets. Bolt them onto the frame of your door and make sure the motor perfectly aligns with the metal rod. Also, make sure the motor does not interfere with the window.

Alarm System: Scytek Astra 4000.

Sound deadener (E-dead): Sound deadened side B pillars, doors, and the roof. This deadener is heat resistant to 400 degrees. It is made out of butyl rubber and has a self adhesive backing.

Speaker conversion: Pyle X-gear (4 x 10) at the front and (4 x 6) at the back. Installing the rear 4 x 6 speakers requires cutting through the frame to fit the large magnet. The front 4 x 10's, however, are plug and play.
