Interior modifications
Interior modifications are changes made to the cabin, controls, instruments, seating, trim, audio system, or comfort features of the Pontiac Fiero.
Interior modifications range from simple cosmetic updates to major custom dashboard, seat, gauge, and electronics installations.
Overview
The Fiero interior is relatively compact and many cars are now several decades old, so interior work often combines restoration, repair, and modification.
Common goals include improving comfort, replacing worn parts, updating the appearance, adding modern electronics, improving audio quality, or adapting parts from other vehicles.

Gauges and instruments
Gauge modifications may include replacement gauges, auxiliary gauges, backlighting changes, custom instrument panels, aftermarket digital dashboards, or integration with engine swaps.
Several aftermarket digital dashboard and digital gauge conversions have been made for the Fiero, including enthusiast-designed kits intended to fit the factory gauge housing. These are typically custom or small-production products rather than factory Pontiac equipment.
