Im getting ready to put seats out of a 2000 SS in my car and the driver seat is power as well, where did you run your power wire when you did yours?

I had a quick question,would 68-81 Leather Camaro seats work on our cars? There was a guy selling the front Black leather 69 Camaro seats. They looked about the same size as our seats. I know the track would probably need swapped out but other than that,would they work?

I switched to 99 base Firebird seats and I love the extra headroom and legroom I get from them. I put them on a thirdgen manual seat rack. Saved a little weight that way. Comfy seats and I didnt have to modify anything.

Strange thing is they were a lot darker than the stock thirdgen gray, and the gray carpet I have...

But I realized after I put them in that the stock thirdgen gray interior's gray fuzzy door carpet matches these new seats perfectly... Weird.

I dotn notice anymore, but I do wish I had gotten teh 4th gen seatbelt hoops. The seatbelt hoops were my big problem for getting any new seats, so I felt kind of trapped into a 4th gen solution, but I liked these seats a lot. They hold you in real well in the corners.

They are more supportive and more comfortable, by far. I was sure glad I had them when I went on a 6 hour trip last summer that got to be like 8 hours because of weather- My brother and I were comfortable the whole time. (although the damn driveshaft shaking and vibrating got old real quick)

I guess though that mine came with the tracks on them, because I took out the seats, and all that was left were the bolts on the floor. The tracks for the new seats matched right up. I am like the only one in my area with a third-gen, so I am not worried about what "everyone else" has lol. They are relatively cheap, comfortable, and available. What more could you want?

They are lower than the original seats, I don't know by how much though. Maybe an inch or so. It was perfect for me though because I am tall (6'1'') and the extra space gave me more room for my mohawk

It would be nice to know what exactly he had to do because I would assume that the Laser and Eclipse seats would fit as well. I'm interested in the 3000GT/Stealth leather seats too.

I have some 3000GT seats im trying to get rid of!
