I'm tired of looking for a decent seat option. Will this one fit, will that one fit? I bought Corvette C4 seats, but they'll cost an arm and a leg to have reupholstered. I can grab a set of S2000 seats, which I love in my Del Sol, but I don't know.

Has anyone tried to see if GTO seats will fit? They look very nice, but I imagine they're a tad big. Any other ideas? Thanks

95-99 Sunfire/Cavalier seats fit nicely. No mods necessary. They bolt right to the stock seat risers, with the stock Fiero hardware. I think they look good to. I have a set in my 86 GT. I can e-mail ya a pic if you'd like. I'm on phone only, so it's hard to post pics.

Just to give you an idea of what 1993 Vette Sport seats look like.
First pic is how they looked at delivery from E-Bay.


And after the recover.

Yeah, totally hate you for that car. You're the reason I went out and grabbed some C4 sports with power options. Unfortunately the only color I found that was halfway decent with a somewhat decent price tag was red. When I went to price getting them upholstered, I was quoted $1,500. Apparently katzskins doesn't make covers for these, and it would have to be custom. If you have another option, please let me know.

Has anyone tried the GTO seats? They look similar but have a price that's easier to stomach. I liked what I saw of the tiburon seats, and have fallen in love with the new Dodge Dart seats, but haven't found aeither of these used near me.

I don't really care for racing seats. I want something that will look like it may have come that way.

Not too bad, I'm looking for something a bit nicer though if I can find something. If someone has a pic of these in a Fiero, I'll entertain them.

It's all in what ya like and are comfy in. I was going to reupholster my stock Fiero seats, but I'm thinkin about gettin a second set of these now and getting them reupholstered in leather to match the stock colors.

I grabbed seats from a 98 f body. I used the fiero pass rail but kept the f body driver seat track so i could use the tilt feature.

Im very comfortable plus i can kick back and nap when waiting for someone.

I don't think the GTO seats will fit. I can take some measurements when I get home tonight and let you know.

Here's what my Tiburon seats look now. The nice thing about them compared to the racing seats is that the side bolsters don't block the center console door. They can also bolt up to the stock fiero sliders with some flat pieces of steel to relocate the outer bracket without welding. The frame it came with makes it possible after you remove the stock sliders.
Maybe I'll take the airbag off the side bolster and hide it in the couch for the wife. she might get a good laugh out of it.

Funny how many Fiero owners was to change their seats and how many other car owners want to get FIero seats for their car.

Yeah, now that I see them IN the Fiero, I'm going to redouble my efforts to find a set of these. Most of the ones I've found aren't local and want like $200 - $300 for shipping.

TransAm/Firebird seats fit I have a set of Firebird seats in my 88. All you have to do is install the seat tracks from the fiero seats.

Do you have a set of s2k seats? I've always lusted over a set of them in a Fiero but don't want to run the risk of them not fitting, mainly that they sit low enough. Is there a way you could get any kind of measurements or comparison to a Fiero seat?

They might fit but aren't those things really hard. I know the hyundai i30 seats look great too and would fit too just they are horrible in the stock car that has soft suspension.

They don't feel any harder then the stock Fiero seats to me. Now the Subaru I drove... felt like I was sitting on plywood.
