4th gen seats in 3rd gen Drop Top

While taking some pics of my car today I also took some of my new 4gen seats in the car, I think they match up pretty good... what do you guys think ?

Looks great
Lately it seems that us 3rd geners are getting that type of 4th gen seats and putting them into their 3rdgens. I've got a set installed in my 85 as well You had to have them shipped from the us or did you get real luck and find a set in europe?

Nice man!!!

I have something that would totally complete your interior; the rear side panels that match with the door panels you have.
Im going to re-do my original ones (look like yours, but in red) to match my neutral colored interior - so whenever that is done Im not going to need the gray ones that are in there now, anymore.
Norway isn't *that* far from Germany, and Im assuming convertible parts aren't growing on trees there either, eh?? LOL
I have no idea when I will have the other panels ready, but if you are interested in the gray ones, give me a holler and I'll let you know when they are out.

Thanks for all the nice compliments !

85Sportcoupe.... I had the luck of finding this mint set here in germany for $90 and had them home delivered for free

Chevyken..... Sounds good, I would be very interested in the panels. Just let me know when no longer need them... do you by any chance have a picture of them ??

They look great and match up very well. Every time i see pics of those seats i like them more and more. It sure helps that they're relatively inexpensive compared to going all out for leather ones. They also look fairly comfortable... how do you like them comfort wise so far?

I went with leather but they were kinda expensive. Cloth ones still look cool tho. I love the red and black ones, i always see a car on my way to class that has them, they rock.

Hey, sorry for the delay man!
I don't have any close up pics of it, but you can kinda see it in this one. I'll try to remember snapping a better one later.

Personally I do not mind, if I get tired of posting on a repeated question, I just stop posting, some people will give the ole "use Search" 'tude...

I guess I personally feel like I would appreciate the help if I had a question... rather than some snide remark... So I help when I can.

Thanks Freeze, I got them from a friend who put racing seats in his '93 Z ... the complete set in mint condition for 90$... I actually wanted GTA style leather seats but I couldn't let a deal like that slip out of my hands
