Any recomendations for seat upholstery replacement. I would like to keep close to original as possible. Any recommended company?

Mr Mikes Fiero http://www.mrmikes.com/fierohome.htm

He has a wide selection of Fiero seat upholstery from cloth to leather, good selection of colors, and styles from classic to corvette. I have had the chance to purchase from them but the instructions he has on the web site are very detailed and he sends a DVD or VHS video instructions with your purchase.

ditto

I third that.
After seeing all of the work that goes into the sewing and making of these seats and installing a set myself Mr Mike is an expert on Fiero seats upholstery.

Thanks to all. I have seen Mr. Mike's site and his products look pretty good, just no experience with the actual product or if any other option was out there.

top notch work. when i can afford some leathers, im gonna get'em from mrmike ive never heard anything bad about this guy.

You mentioned that you'd like to keep the upholstery as close to original as possible. The Fiero Store not too long ago (in their 2005-2007 hard copy catalog) could have provided you that option for what I assume is an `85 GT that you have, but The Fiero Store has discontinued that part number (# 99106) from their on-line catalog.

Instead, The Fiero Store's on-line catalog currently lists seat covers that IMHO look almost nothing like the original Fiero GT seat covers. Even The Fiero Store apparently agrees with that assessment on their website --- albeit understandably phrasing it far more diplomatically than I just did. Accordingly, I suggest simply going with Mr. Mike's seat covers instead.

I've Mr. Mike's leather seat covers on my `86 GT. I don't think they look quite as "original" for a GT as those once offered by The Fiero Store. Rather, I think Mr. Mike's seat covers look better than the original, and since the latter apparently are no longer available from The Fiero Store anyway (and were discontinued by GM l-o-n-g ago), I'd recommend going with Mr. Mike's instead, based on personal experience.

The leather Mr. Mike's seats which I purchased --- before his "leatherette" (i.e., vinyl) seat covers even were available --- are not inexpensive, so you may want to consider the less expensive "leatherette" seat covers which IMHO, look perfectly fine. I wouldn't be surprised if this more recently available "leatherette" alternative also wears longer than real leather.

The even more recently introduced cloth alternative offered by Mr. Mike's might be another very acceptable alternative.

In any case, whichever seat covers you elect to choose, good luck with your seat cover upholstery project, and by the way, welcome to Pennock's Fiero Forum!

I think Songman was selling stock seat covers.Check here in the mall, or on Ebay. Mr Mikes is the best alternative to stock (probably better).

I would whole heartedly recommend Mr. Mikes as well. He does AWESOME work.
