They're from a second gen.

I'd guess no, Mate.

But PhilO will say for sure.

Giblets · « **Reply #2 on:** March 16, 2006, 08:26:26 pm »

Yeah I knew they were from the 2nd Gen, but the 4th Gens seats go in mine, so I thought the 2nd Gen's might too.

I just hate grey and want rid of mine.

Third and fourth gens (basically) have the same floor-pan.

2nd gen seats won't fit 3rd gens that i'm 100% sure of.

So...
you want rid of you're seats eh... hmmm

Giblets · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2006, 10:31:50 pm »

Cheers Ryan.

Apparently they don't recline either!

Ah well.....

Soon as I can find a decent non-grey set of replacements (preferably leather), I'll let you have mine for a nominal fee if you want?

FUBAR · « **Reply #7 on:** March 17, 2006, 01:32:47 am »

sweet

if I get em they will go into storage until I can afford a Maroon leather re-trim so no rush!

are they the ones with the separate headrests?

Second gen shouldnt fit.And they should recline

Yes mate, grey velour type material from where I'm standing (sitting). Very good condition, but not perfect.

Rocky - if you ever know of anyone breaking a car with leather seats, let me know!

I might be able to help soon,
Im trying to get someone to supply me leather kits from LA, I will be getting samples in first which i can let go cheaper if anyone is interested i can trim them or you can do it yourself (really easy on 3rd gens).Trouble is they will probably come in certain colours until i start ordering off them.
Anyway i will keep you lot updated first.

Too late now, but for info, 2nd gens and 3rd/4th seats don't interchange without some work (I've just put the 4th gen fronts in mine with some bodging (must sort out a better fix), and also need to work out the mods to fit the rears (might need some welding

Also, none of the 2nd seats I have seen have ever reclined. No adustment at all (apart from sliding backwards and forwards)

Hmm... interesting... wonder if there will be a Dark red sample set...

No Ryan!

Don't go for a pimp red leather interior!

That only works on black cars. Too much red and your interior will look like an abatoire!

I just want plain old black leather seats in mine. Phil's grey ones look great in a white car, but not so good in a red car.

This is one of the largest seat re trimers in the usa. They sell the kit and you just slip it over the bare seat. Might need too email thew for the old camaro paterns

No, Dark (or Carmine as GM call it) Red, Just like my current interior

there will be NO bright red on my car except the Brake Lights!

Thats what i'd like anyway

Giblets · « **Reply #17 on:** March 27, 2006, 07:18:43 pm »

Dark red even worse surely.

Like a red wine spillage!

Can't remember what your current seats look like, so it might work, but I prefer seats that contrast the bodywork.

Rocky · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2006, 01:28:26 am »
