Has anyone had me experience with Mr. Mike's.com?

 He sells covers to fit Fiero seats. I sourced pair of 1987 Fiero seats from local craigslist ad supercheap. 
 The fitment  of the covers looks pretty nice, but of course I haven't seen them in person.  Check out the website below for some examples of some good photos of the seats on Panteras. One of our local guys here in OKC has Fiero seats in his Pantera I was really impressed with how they fit. I would even say that they fit me better than the Corvette seats do. 

www.mrmikes.com

This Mr. Mike's website also advertises logo embroidery and options for special touches like that. if you look at his website and scan around that you'll find pricing about 400 bucks. pretty reasonable for fake leather.
