Mr. Mike made the covers. Well worth the effort.

Cheers.

I installed Fiero seats in my 1980 last fall. Using the brackets in the link above raised the seat bottom about two inches in the front, and over an inch at the back of the seat, leaving me without enough headroom. I left the passenger side that way (using the Corvette tracks) for my wife, but fashioned different feet for the Fiero tracks on the driver's side to gain back the headroom.

I just ordered new seat covers from Mr Mike over the weekend. I'll post pictures of the Fiero tracks, and the seat cover installation, when I get the covers.

I agree with the A4 seats as an option.

Can I suggest you contact Speed Direct and speak with Randy or Eric. I purchased the Corbeau A4’s after giving up my search for Fiero seats. The A4’s are wonderful and Speed Direct makes custom brackets specifically for Corvette C3’s.

I purchased the Cloth seats and tacked on a few options like the shaved seat option and the 5th slot install for a 6 point harness. They shipped the seats free. It was way under $800 with my options. Give them a call. New is better than buy something you have to fix up.

If you find a local dealer, go sit in the seat and make an educated decision. But Speed Direct beat everyone’s price. Mention you are a CF forum member as they give us discounts, I think up to 10%

I have no financial ties with them. I got a good product at a good price and they treated me well. Try 888/425-2776. I think that is Randy in Sales.

Do you remember which speakers you used in the headrest? How do they sound? I bought some Fiero seats with speakers in them and intend to make use of them. Right now, I only have speakers in the dash.

I put these in but still recommend a subwoofer for the low end.

Pics would be awesome after it's all done. How tall are you? I'm 5' 10".

I haven't ruled them out and they are a nice seat.

Thanks for info. Jedi

Thanks. Now if I could only find the faceplate for the head unit I removed when re-doing my interior.

I'm 6'. You may be alright with the Corvette tracks, depends if you are "torso tall" or "leg tall"

Hey guys, I am thinking about these fiero seats. I am looking at a set of used seats for $80.

How much more comfortable are the fiero seats vs the c3 seats?

I am kind of tall, about 6'-1, but I have the glass ttops, which I think give a little more room.

Think I will be ok head room wise going to fiero seats? Can anyone tell me exactly how much head room I'd lose using fiero seats on c3 rails.

Thanks.

Edit: How noticeable are the speaker holes in real life? Do they detract much?

Domobomb

Looks good. I will probably steal this colour combo, but with the flatter c3 flags logo.

Fiero seat are much more comfortable and have more support. But you do lose headroom.

I am almost 6.1 and can not use the t top liners anymore so I went with glass tops. I clear those so its all good.

hey dont feel bad about 'stealin' the color combo, i sstole it right off mr mikes site

mine are taller than the originals, but some of that is from nothin bein left of mine old ones but a ratty black skin over the springs. the foam was all but gone

My Fiero seats are the best mod i've made on my corvette. Got a set for 75 $ and had the the seats redone with white leather.

I have those seats now for over 8 years in my '78 and they look just like the first day.
Before i did the swap i had never seen a corvette with Fiero seats before. I was looking for a set of corbeau seats but couldn't get them in white so i started to look at the junk yard for something that could fit in my corvette that i could redo with white leather and i stopped my eyes on those Fiero seats . I remember going back with a mesuring tape to make sure that it would fit. I've done my own track modifications to fit my car. Now there's hundred's of corvettes that have those seats.

They look good in C3s, never knew people did this. I only have Fiero seats in my Fiero.

Would you be able to show those pics of the tracks and provide any details and directions? I'm a tall guy and the brackets wont work for me. Thanks!!

Domobomb

Can you explain this to me? I have fiero seats in the corvette, but I have 0 headroom basically. The fiero rails were a lot taller than the c3 rails.

I have the seats bolted to the c3 rails right now.
