Default Woohoo! Finished My Fiero Seats!

So after about a year of looking for either reasonably priced Fiero seats, late C3 seats, or new Corbeau A4 seats, I was finally able to locate and purchase some Fiero seats in good condition at a great price!

My goal was to do these on the cheap since majority of my car budget went to some performance upgrades (3.70 rear end with a rebuilt 200-4r). That means although the best option, Mr. Mike's awesome covers were out of the question. The next runner up was the Iggee Fiero covers. The fit was not as good as the Mr. Mike's, but was the best bang for the buck. These along with a little Corvette flair and I think they turned out pretty good for $297 for everything. What do you think?

Since I'm a short 5'8" guy, I raised the seats 1 & 1/2 inches on my project to "help me see over the old-school aftermarket hood".... with plenty of headroom left over LOL.

I am 6' and already have a pretty "snug" fit near the top so I am welding up half the tracks to some flat bar to gain every last bit of space. The new viewing angle should be interesting - I cant wait until spring!!!

Very nice! Congrats! I did Fiero seats as well and think they're the best option available considering looks, support and comfort...make sure we get pics after installed.

I'm 5'7" and wish the seats were a little lower in my '81

6'6" here, I removed the track and cut the bottom foam of my Fiero seats and will probably end up welding up a lowered floor pan.
When I sit right now on the bare floor pan I feel a the right height *sigh*
