These are MrMikes covered Fiero seats that I was going to put in my car (since sold), but discovered (too late) that I was too tall! You lose 2 3/8" of head room over the stock seats, so take that into account. These seats were in near mint condition prior to recovering and have only been trial fitted in a car - like new condition. They come with custom fabricated adapter bars which will bolt directly to stock sliders - plug and play. They also have the speakers in the headrests (first two years of Fiero production only) and come with the pigtail connectors. Boxed and ready to ship. If interested, email me directly at:  dakelm at qwest.net  Fiero seats were made for Pontiac by the Lear Corp (the jet people) and are excellently constructed.

Fiero Seats look like this, pics 1-2. The fiero rails do not match up with the pantera rails as attached to the floor pan. The Pantera rails are better. You need to build a spacer that moves the attach point for the fiero seats to the attach point for mounted Pantera rails. See pics 3-4.
Right and left seats are different. Take your time measuring and fitting to get it right.

People sometimes buy the earlier seats with the speakers in the headrest.
They aren't very effective IMHO.

They fiero seats are a little higher than Pantera seats. Make sure you fit.
You can pull off a little of the foam in the center of the seat but it won't buy you muck more space.

I also had to remove a lot of the foam from the bottom of the seat to get them to slide over the carpet.

Mr. Mikes makes leather seat covers and they can embroider the logo in them.

Good luck.
