I am looking for black and tan or black and beige either way around as their are no photos of these mixes on Mr Mikes site. I am still partial to the brown and tan mixes too so please post any pics of your seats and your centre console cover I am looking at leatherette
to save money but post anything beige or tan.

No black, but here are mine in the '86. Leatherette.

sabooo, those look really nice! I really want those...

Is that the same color combination as shown on "Peters Denmark Fiero"?

I used the cloth/leatherette option on my GT. The cloth feels warmer in the winter.

The colors are the same, but I ran the light color up over the headrest where he used the darker fabric there. Personal preference is all.

Here is what Mr.Mike sent me last year when I was considering going black and tan -

I've never thought about the tan/beige and black combination... I like it.

Beechwood and black. Don't look at the dirt

Well so do i it seems i was hell bent on the brown tan combo but figured if i got it in black/tan i could start adding more black to the car. I am still very partial to brown/tan and in GT but seeing the other combos i am starting to like the modern sports look which did not excite me before.

One thing the light tan and black combo allowed me to do, was to change out the seats, and not disrupt the interior theme to a great extent (some think the new yellow/blk seats add to the tan/blk interior theme). I switched the seats out about a year back, as the Chinese Racing Seats were only $200 for the set on an internet sale, they're nearly as comfortable as the Fiero seats, and provide more side support.

Anybody done the GT style seat but in reverse? Dark tan inside, light tan outside.

Chris

Well, thank you for this thread. It is now official, I AM going with black and tan when I start my interior modifications.

This is what made me want a tan interior. The same thing in gray just does not measure up to this stunning appearance

quote Originally posted by sabooo: No black, but here are mine in the '86. Leatherette.

That, IMO, is downright stunning. I'd like to get that same color combination for my `86 GT. What are the specific names of the two Mr. Mike's colors in which you ordered those leatherette seat covers?

I'd ordered a color combination similar to that, but in leather, before the "leatherette" seat covers came out, and although they looked great initially, the leather seat covers ended up exhibiting premature cracking and discoloration.

Save this picture and send it to Mr. Mike. He will know what the correct colors are.

I went with leather and suede combo for mine. I love the 2 tone plus the suede isn't sticky when it's hot out here. I supplied my leather and suede to Mr. Mike though.

Ok i think i have to get these no black it is just a clear favourite i have a woodern dash kit and this would match best thanks for all the pics guys.

Nice! Glad I could help. They really do set the interior off nicely. Mr.Mike has done his homework on the colors, and I'm certain you are going to love the seats.

And please, please, please - Use the padding, spray glue, duct tape over the normal wear spots. If you dont, you'll find your sexy new seat covers are going to wear out just like your old ones did. You need to protect them from that metal structure where the original foam deteriorated.

Enjoy!

quote That, IMO, is downright stunning.

Agreed! I love that color combination. That is what I am going to do to my black 87 SE when I have the $$$.

BTW, I am such a noob. Can someone please clarify the factory tan/brown/beechwood interior options that were available and what years they were available? For example, officially what color is in my "brown" interior 87 SE?

Here's my 84's interior with Mr. Mikes leatherette seats.

Beachwood was used only in 1988. It is a bit darker than the tan/brown combination of the 84-87's. Ths photo is of my car. It has tan/brown, except for the shift surround, speedo surround, and the AC/radio surround:

Fast delivery i mean fast thanks Mr Mike. The quaility is just as i expected it exceeds anything else available. I can only recommend these seat cover excellent.

well... pics? I want to see your choices installed.

About two thirds down page 6 on my thread are some pics of Mr. Mike himself, the seats he made up for me and the fun I had in March of 2007 at Daytona!

Hopefully that's not too much of a thread jack, but could people post their Cream Mr. Mikes seats?
(I don't think they're popular enough to warrant their own thread)

I will post pics but i have a lot to do first so it wont be for some weeks yet as repainting first.

This thread just kills me...

I've wanted Mr. Mike's seats for a long, long time... going on almost 10 years now. But I'm so careful about my interior that my factory seats are still totally immaculate... so how do I justify tearing up perfectly good factory seats for a set of these seats?

Sigh... I don't know... maybe I'll get a set of spare seats and order some seat covers later on when the car is finished.

Eventually the padding under the seat cover will fail in the bolsters. The covers wear through from the back to the front in most cases, not the other way around. If you are sensitive to that foam, and replace it as soon as it starts to feel dubious, you should be able to get nearly forever out of those factory covers.

But if MrMike has your heart, I think picking up a second set of seats and recovering those while putting your clean originals in storage is much preferable to carving up a good set of seats. MrMike's kit reuses some of the padding that's built into the factory seat covers as well. In my case the passenger seat cover was still perfect, so I substituted some 1" mattress foam in order to preserve that cover with good results.

quote Originally posted by Austrian Import: California Kid, could you post pictures of those seats installed? What do you think of them long term? How are they on long drives? Any downsides to the lateral support?

Here's where I purchased the seats from:

http://www.hyperautoparts.c...99-pair-p-70463.html

Picked them up on a sale about a year ago $200 for the pair, and $100 for the pair of 4 point belts. I like the seats, they are nearly as comfortable as the Fiero seats, I've spent 4 hrs in them with no complaints. These seats offer better lateral support than the Fiero Seats, which I do like very much ! They fit in the car "tight" against the carpeted tunnel, but are a nice fit in the car. You cannot open the console glove box while driving, you have to release seat back lever-rotate seat back forward to open it. They do sell them in other colors and as far as order time, they took about 7 wks to delivery to Michigan. Normally I'd never had bought Chinese seats, but at the price I couldn't pass it up.







Edited to add: By the way, I'm not selling my Fiero Seats with Mr. Mikes leather, they are great seats. They'll go into my '87 or back into the '88 if the Chinese seats don't hold up.
