May be going to junkyard tomorrow...

I'm going to call around to some local yards to see if I can find a new console lid and cover. The cover has come unglued from under the plastic and it won't go back. Anyway, any hidden treasures I should be looking for?

Yeah get me one too... same problem in my 91, and the POS drinkholders that cost 50.00 a pop from GM. Treasures, really depends on what (if anything) you plan on doing to the car... Engine related? get a TB, or an intake, heads, look for a aluminum driveshaft, ect ect... Depends on you.... Body related? get new rims, ground effects, spoiler, I want to find a ram air hood, but know those A: don't last more then .3 seconds in a bone yard and B: the owner of the bone yard pulls em to sell em in the newspaper....

Mostly engine performance. I'm not too worried about the body. I was saving for a repaint, but it's fine for now.

Find a 2.8 Fiero, and gank everything you can. Heads, lower intake, TB, EVERYTHING. Much more built for speed then our 6's. And if you see a set of perfect black seats, lemme know.
