I put the Corbeau A4 in my car. I used a CF vendor (speed direct) and got a discount and free shipping. I think they also have a special bracket that keep headroom the same.
I also purchased the shaved seat option to increase my headroom (if your are over 5’10” you may want to consider this) and the 5th slot install for my seat belt harness.

search this forum for 2005-07 Mustang seats. I know if was from a 'stang and I think that was the year. Prices were in the $700-800 range at the time, easy install and looked really comfortable.They are on my wish list in a year or so.

If you could put C3 seats in the Fiero and resell the car making a good buying choice and a little work someone could buy an entire Fiero, get the seats for refurb and swap... resell the Fiero. Solves the sourcing seat issue and may make a little money for some good detailing and maybe some minor mechanical work.
EDIT: I wonder if a used Fiero would sell better with CORVETTE seats?

I was a little concerned buying 25 year old seats and I was a little concerned with my re-covering abilities...but I'm really glad I went this route. I didn't want something too modern looking, and to me, this is the best mix of correct looks, performance and comfort. Mr Mikes in black leather 68/69 pattern. I paid $150 for the seats and $40ish for shipping from the used car parts link above. The covers were approx. $550. A little pricey for all, but less $$ than most modern performance seats.
