I ordered Mr. Mike's seats 10 years ago for my old 3.4 SE, and although I no longer have the car, the seats still look good (saw it in a parking lot about a month ago). The man makes a high quality product. They're not cheap, but every time you go to get in your car, you'll just look at them and go "wow.. cool."

Real nice seats James. I have a white 88 in my garage that has had a 84-87 tan interior installed by a PO. The drivers seat uphostery is for the dogs. I am gonna do those same seats that you have, except for the Fiero emblem sewn on. You can just see the drivers seat on the left. The whole seat is that way. A good shot of the dash and carpet.

They are very good quality seats i have only had mine a couple months but they were worth every penny. I got the leatherette seats and most people wouldn't be able to tell it from real leather. They are also very easy to install, they have step by step directions with a dvd.

I bought a Fiero with his seats...probably 7 or 8 years old; they were in great shape. Last year I bought a set (leather) for my 87 T-top and installed them. They were easy to put on, and look great. He delivers a wonderful product and his support is excellent. I had some questions about resolving the musty order on the ones in the car I bought and he was most helpful with this and cleaning suggestions. Besides it is worth buying the seats just to see his installation video...most entertaining. Jim

I think they look great. I was told by mr mike via email that the tan/beigh leather cover are no longer avalible but can still be ordered in cloth or leatherette. Im planning on getting a set myself as soon as I can afford them Wyatt

Still did not get to install mine, but they sure look great. With porper treatmeant -Armarall etc- they should last a long time.
Don't use armour-all on them!
You use Meguires vinyl/leather conditioner or mink oil. This keeps it soft even in cold weather (no cracking) and helps protect them from any stains that might occur.

I think that is an '84 interior. At least the seats - the '84 had the stripes. Do they have speakers? ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"

I always wondered about that. Thanks for the recommendation AND explanation why.

I was looking on the RPO sticker, and it was built as a gray interior car. RPO 829 or what ever it was. The seats have the little holes, but i dont know if the speakers are in there or not. The driver side carpet is bad, the rest of the cars interior is pretty good. I was cheeckin it out to see if it was swapped over right. All screws and fasteners appear to be put back as should be, and in the right place. Joe
