    Mr Fiat?

    Has anyone bought upholstery from Mr. Fiat? If so what kind of quality are they? Comparable to Lakewell?

    I bought a set of seat covers from them awhile back and they weren't up to my standards. Even worse, the company gave me nothing but hassles when I wanted to return them and I had to charge back my credit card. That made two unsatisfactory transactions in a row I'd had with them and I won't deal with them again.

    I eventually bought my seat covers from Lakewell and they were excellent.

    I've got seats on order from them now, that will get upholstered by a local pro. I've heard nothing but good things on the seats, which they import from Italy.

    How do the Italian seats compare to the US made ones?

    The name .."Mr. FIAT" should have steered you away......

    I own a few Italian cars and would never buy from that place... overpriced and 3rd party reseller....Like a Sierra Madre for 356/911 parts....
