MrMikes Leather-ettes are available is most colors. The traditional Fiero Grays and Tans of course, as well as Black, Red, Yellow, Electric Blue, etc. Some of the special leather colors (like Metallic Silver) or embossed (like Hemi) are not available in Leather-ette. There will be some new embossed Leather-ette. There will be some new colors in Leather-ette.
The Leather-ette colors webpage should be up in a day or two. Color samples of the automotive cloths will be posted too.
Thank you, MrMike

I have been on this forum for over 5 years now and have yet to see anyone deliver this product that beat or meets MrMikes product. Local custom upholstery shops around here want double what he charges! So as the old saying goes "you get (or you don't get) what you pay for". You can't go wrong with MrMike JMO Gary

I called Ridezilightning because thanks to Chris I got his cell number. He claims that he is trying to get the money together and we maybe will get a refund at the end of this week, (1 more day) but I won`t know anything for a couple of days because I will be out of town until Monday morning.

Hi BobadooFunk and m0sh_man, http://www.mrmikes.com/fieroleatherette.htm Read more carefully, Cloth inserts are a $29 option. I’ve not used cloth for many years, the samples I have are out of date, the suppliers are sending me new ones. When the cloth color samples arrive I will scan and post them to the Leather-ette webpage. Thanks, MrMike

One more quick question Mr.mike ..... the color page that listed the leatherette for the light tan said speaker holes weren't available on Leatherette, but the new page makes it look like they are .... can you give a yes or no one way or the other?
MRMIKE your seats look great i will be ordering them after i get my money back ( i was told this Monday) but im going to open a new tread for your seats this one should be kept on topic i don't want any one skimming the post to associate your seats and his issues

I recieved communication thru paypal. I hope be recieving a refund from him soon.
I like the leatherette MrMikes has although i do prefer leather tho. I am not sure how much they will really clash with the interior mine is beige I loved the 2 tones beige tan seats at mrmikes and i sent the pic off his site http://www.mrmikes.com/fieronicholas.htm to ridethelighning to have them made. I heard MrMike wasnt making this color combination due to color availablity but i love it and still want it.

I just want a refund. I have already ordered some covers from Mr Mike and they are on their way. I`m about ready to call the Tacoma police and report fraud. I don`t know if they can do anything but they will at least be informed.

Give him a chance, before you put up the pitchforks. If he sends at least one seat and it gets successfully received. (Receiver obviously please post) Hopefully he read my last post and is going to own up to the Fiero community.
TXGOOD, like I said in my previous post. He should send the seats and still refund the money. He has no right to demand money after his behavior. (If people would be willing to pay him VOLUNTARILY AFTER they received the seats, that would be nice, but he shouldn't expect it.) At least to people like you, who got tired of waiting and found alternatives. Nobody can blame you for ordering seats somewhere else. (besides this way we could have a side-by-side comparison of Mr Mikes and his seats. )
Let's see how this plays out. Maybe we'll get lucky and all will be fixed. (small chance, but one can hope, right?) In any case a big thanks to Mr Mikes for picking up the ball.

I know that things happen and stuff doesn`t always go right and I can put up with that. What I can`t tolerate is non-communication. I don`t want the seat covers. I have ordered mine from Mr Mike and he even took a picture of his worker cleaning off the chalk marks and they look great. I ordered like last Thursday and he has already shipped them with tracking numbers. THAT is the way to do business with someone. NOT to string them along and keep D***ing them around as to what`s going on. Some people don`t want to be responsible for their actions these days. I think at one point he told Chris that he couldn`t get ahold of us to let us know what was going on.Bull****. He hasn`t even responded to my Paypal dispute/claim.
There is no response to either your claim except refund or tracking. I'm in boise and my father shipped out both yours and chris' seats. I'm going to have to refund australians, since they weren't found. I did talk to my Dad and he has pictures and everything and will be posting them first chance he has. He is out of town right now on business, and chris can confirm this since he talked to my Dad's secretary. You all have a way of contacting me, you have my cell number and I have always answered/ called right back. I'm not ripping anyone off and ya this is taking way too long, but I'm doing all I can. Both of your disputes close this week, so even if you don't end up getting them you are assured a refund by paypal. I will just owe paypal a lot of money.
How do they feel? Soft or stiff? How breathable are these compared to real leather or, heaven forbid, vinyl? I had vinyl seats in the notchie I used to have, and they sucked. Way too hot.

I don`t get them until tomorrow but I will post about them when I get them on. As for the heat, that`s what AC is for. I don`t forsee any problems and here in Texas we know about heat.

Yeah, I know - I had those vinyl seats when I lived in San Antonio in '05 - and my A/C did not work.

My AC doesn`t work either but I plan to get it fixed by the time it starts getting real hot. I got my covers today and it`s worth sweating a little to get Mr Mike`s quality at about 1/2 the price for the Leatherette seat covers over real leather. I still think that his leather price is very reasonable but personally I just can`t fork out that much for covers.

Hey, If you need a good AC man, and have trouble finding one in Austin, LMK. I have a very reliable AC specialist up here (real close to Babe's). After taking my car back to factory new (EVERYTHING)... he knows his way around a Fiero pretty well. If you can wait until the winter, he will give you up to a 30% discount as that is his slowest time.
Also, are you making the SA RU X? If so, I've got a NTFC trophy to give you... you had to bail before we passed them out.

Yea Blake, you are right. I did pay twice for seat covers but I still hope to get some money back. Fortunately, I have had some good x-tra work and I also have my carpet ordered. I will be at Round-up 10 and I hope to have my new dash and console as well as my seats in. Mike
