4th gen seats

I know that the 4th gen front seats bolt right into a 3rd gen, but what about the back seats? Do the seat backs and butt cushions bolt right in also?

I posted a thread a while back with a step by step on how to do it. I think its actually 13mm bolts not 1/2' like I said before, but my toolset was a universal type. Workin on Black85transam's seats, we used a 13 mil.

To remove the back seats:

With a rachet and an extension, remove the single bolt that holds the bottom section of the rear seats. Then they just pop right out. Using a 13mm wrench, remove one bolt from each side of the rear seat upper panel from the hinge that it is attached to. The lift the seat back out. Reverse these steps to put the new seats in. Its that simple.

Thanks for the help. i got the front and back seats out of a 95. They even match my door panels. Not bad for $160. They are 10 times more comfortable than the 3rd gen seats. And the whole swap only took 30 mins. with no cussing involved.

Simple. There will be 2 wires coming out the bottom of the seat. Run the black wire to ground, and the orange to a constant 12 volt source.

When I installed my seats, I ran the orange one to the "BATT" outlet in the fuse box, and grounded the black one under the console.

If you get really lucky, there may be a plug in harness tucked under your carpet.

Not too sure what exactly to do next... I thought about doing some red embroidery on the seats, but I dunno. Then I thought about maybe some red neon's under the dash or something... Then thought about a 4th gen console but kinda nixed that idea seeing how I would have to chop up my current dash, that didn't thrill me too much. I'm always open to ideas!

btw - I returned your P/M from I dunno how long ago!

ifyour open to ideas, put a firebird dash and pod. You could go 4th gen or thirdgen, both would take custimizing, but the thirdgen dash in the camaro would be more unique. That would look cool anywayz.
