help with seats please!
i know there are prolly a bunch of threads already on hereabout seats, but i wanted to make one spec. to me so i dont wast countless hours wandering aimlessly. ok i would like to know what other seats have you managed to fit in your c3's. i want something in a reasonable price range that does not raise the driver position too much (dont wanna be sticking out the t-top). i am willing to mod if i have to, but it would be great if i didnt. thanx in advance, Chase.

Just got mine installed a few days ago.
$468.23 shipped from one side of the US to the other. I am 6'1 and while I could fit under the t-top liners with the universal tracks on it, it was close. I decided to just mount them directly to the floor pan. Had to drill 3 new holes for each, then put a length of 1/8" steel under the floor pan w/the same holes and bolted to that.
I love them and they really make the interior look a lot more modern.

i would go that route, but im 6' and my girls 5', if i ever need her to drive it for some reason ill be screwed. thats why im wondering about the fiero seats and what tracks. the only real prob with aftermarket seats is that the stocks sat so low. thanks for the input and the pic. 0i may have to end up goin that way.

Found my Fiero seats on ebay. About $300 delivered and in great shape. My post with photos in the above thread details how I did the install. Just finished recovering with MrMikes leathers and they really look great.
Good luck!
