Several months back I scored a pair of Fiero seats for $30 at a small local salvage yard. I started looking around at upholstery alternatives, talked to a couple of custom interior guys, and then found a guy in Florida that offers several different styles of covers for stock Fiero seats, as well as Miata's, Vette's, and others. http://mrmikes.com/ Turns out that Fiero seats were made by the Lear Company (Lear Jet) for GM, and they are often used in some high dollar sports rides replacing OEM seats. They sit very low and have a lot of adjustment for leg room.

The custom guys were quoting about $1200 to cover the seats alone, and I elected to get a set of leatherette covers from MrMike and do it myself, along with a set of seat heaters - my wife loves them. I also got a roll of matching material for other interior needs, yet to come. R&R took most of the day, including retrofitting the speakers in one headrest (I had one with factory speakers, one without). I like the way they look and feel, especially considering the repairs to the bolsters that were needed.
