Default New Fiero seats finished!!

I have never liked the stock C3 seats. I considered C4 and C5 seat replacements, but always had a hard time matching the 82 camel interior.

I bought some Fiero seats for 45.00 on Craigs list. I re-upholstered them using a kit from mrmike.com. I think they turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Look like they belong there

You've given me an idea Rudolph-
A set of those seats in black w/ dark gray insets would look good in my 68

These particular seats are from an 88 Fiero. They didn't have headrest speakers.

45.00 for the seats. 350.00 for the covers (they are leather-ette). I must say the quality of the covers is great. I initially wanted leather, but as it turned out the color combo was only available in the leather-ette. I re-used the Vette seat rails.

Fiero seats looks a lot more comfortable than the stock seats.

Very nice work. I'm not big on changing the seats from the factory look, but you did an excellent job. Now you got me thinking.

Looks great! Do they sit lower or higher than the stock seats, i.e. did you gain any headroom?

Merry Christmas

I lost some headroom. I think they sit about 2" higher than stock.
