2002corvette Sets In A 3rd Gen T/a

THIS ONE MAYBE WAY OFF SOMEMIGHT EVEN SAY IT'S NUTTY
BUT CAN A PAIR OF 2002 CORVETTE SEATS BE FITTED IN A 3RD GEN TRANS AM OR CAMERO? OR HAS ANY EVER TRIED?
I HVE A FRIEND WHO WAS LOOKING AT A CORVETTE 2002MODEL
AND KEPT GOING ON ABOUT HOW COMFORTABLE THE SEATS WERE
SO NOW IT'S GOT ME WONDERING PLUS HE SHOWED ME THE PICS OF THE SEATS AND THEY APPEAR TO HAVE THE "LOOK" OF THE PMD STYLE AND THEY LOOKED REAL COMFY!

i wouldn't see why not, i know the earlier body style seats will fit; but you must modifiy the brackets.

the newer seats look to be rather wide; although the camaro is a wide car so it should be possible with slight modification.

the only problem is you will probably pay quite a penny for them i know most sets i ran across were at least 1200. look through some major corvette yards through out the country to see if one is close to you. maybe they would let you set a seat in the car just to see if the door will clear when closed. if so then you should be good to go.

i looked into it myself and loved the comfort of them, but i didn't like that you can't recline them and they are a little taller than the f-body seats.

good luck with the project.

Yeah, someone on the boards has done it before, it was like a year ago, he did it in a Trans Am. It looked, sharp as hell, the only thing what about the back seats. He also did a tech art. on it too I believe but I know for sure he has a web page, nosaint I believe that was his name.
