I've heard some Firebird seats bolt right in, I'm guessing only pre 93 do?
But will these fit, has anyone tried? These are 93-2002.

You need to put the fiero seat brackets onto the bottom of them which are a direct bolt on but other than that they go right in.. did it to my old green fiero with a set of my old firebird seats (98 firebird)... as i said as long as you bolt the fiero seat sliders to the bottom of them they fit right in.. the firebird and camaro seats are pretty much the same just stitched diffrently and the firebirds have an ajustable headrest.

As mentioned they do bolt right in when you swap the seat tracks. You can also bolt them in with the camaro/firebird seat brackets but it will angle the seat in a way that will not work in the fiero. I have these in my 88 and love them. They arevery comfortable and the side bolsters do a better job of holding you in place than the factory seats.

I've had [1997] F-Body seats in my GreenGT since 2004: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...050119-1-045540.html (photos are from May 2004)





I did remove the seatbelt loops from the headrests - and had the holes filled professionally... you would never know they were there!

Originally I installed them with the F-Body rails to retain the tilt/rock feature of the driver's seat - but finally switched the driver's seat back to the Fiero rails a year or two ago - because the F-Body rails left the seat a little too high (and it was just killing my neck after long drives). I feel like the Fiero rails leave the front of the seat a touch lower than I'd personally like, but a few washers under the rail helped enough to make the difference.

The seats have worn reasonably well over the years - although the driver's seat has developed a rip along the stitching that needs to be taken care of very soon.

Now... I just need to find a similar pair in cloth for the trailer project...

Looking for Fiero posters?

BTW - $100 is a great price for those if they're in as good of shape as they look!

I snagged them.
Now I just need a set of FIero seat rails driver and passenger, cheap. Or I could have the back mount of each camaro rail cut and welded back on shorter. The prob with these is the rear is higher than the front by about 1.5 inches. On the Fiero it is same front and back. I suppose if I was short I could raise the front to match the back...but I'm not.

There is some "pilling" I guess you would call it on the bottom drivers seat. Not bad, but maybe that can be shaved with a razor blade?

Most of the interior is from an f-body - only the steering column, carpet, ECM and door panel cores are original (but modified).

You could just unbolt them from the seats that are in the car now...no?
