It just seems sacraligous to put fiero in a Vette , seems like C5 or C4 would be better choice?
I guess over thinking it, just trying to keep it on a level playing field

I am going to put a pair of fiero seats in mine, I have c4 seats in it right now and I like them but they need redone and the prices for leather covers are almost double the Mr Mikes seat covers plus you can get custom embroidery done on the fiero seats for cheap.

Here's a link to images of my Fiero seats with MrMikes leather covers in my Pace Car:
http://www.mrmikes.com/geraldscorvette.htm
I replaced the stock headrest speakers with these:
3 1/2" Aluminum Cone Full-Range Driver 8 Ohm
These seats support MUCH better are MUCH more comfortable on long trips than my stock Pace Car seats, which are like new and in a box in the basement. Made adapters from 2" by 1/8" hardware store bar stock and mounted the seats on the original sliders with no cutting, drilling, or welding. I can reinstall the original seats in about an hour if need be.
The only downer is access to the luggage area is reduced, but I can still load a mid-sized duffel and remove/replace the battery. Just have to run the seats full forward and do some minor contortions.

The seats do have the speakers in them and they all tested good but, I was wondering if you had to modify the holes in the headrest where the speakers go for the one you posted a link to. If not I think I will pick up a set of those speakers for mine before I put the covers on. Then I will have my JVS stereo and new speakers installed.
Thanks

I bought a set of 88 fiero seats that I plan to put in. What are guys doing about the routing and holding of seat bets? I can't tell from the pictures how that is being handled. Mostly concerned about the shoulder strap

Installing my seats today. Shouldn't be any different routing for seat belts. I have the spring guards that have a place for the seat belt but not sure if I have room for them. Going to use the existing seat slides with the adapter brackets from Mr. Mikes.
