To everyone who is thinking about doing the swap, just do it. I got a new interior out of a late model camaro 1998 i believe. And the difference is insane. The seats are wayyyyyyy more comfy, have more options, like the fancy tilts and such, They are practically full racing bucket seats. and the BEST thing is.. Its a direct bolt right in. Pull the old out, put the new in. Literally a 5 minute job. Dont wait any longer, just go for it. the only change is the back seat has two locks, and for my camaro i only needed one.

And for $50 at a yard, (Engine fire) you can't beat that price for 2 front seats, 2 rear, and the single back piece, A couple of water stains, but nothing that won't shampoo out.

Happy hunting

 

That's an awesome deal you got. I paid $200 for my cloth ones from a 98 camaro back in late 01. They were for my 92 rs though, not this one. They make a huge difference in how they look and feel. Much more comfortable

for sure man I love mine,,,they were 10times more cumfy. I also paid $200 for my ('99 firebird) seats last summer oh yah thats Can. funds tho. I think its my cheapest and most enjoyable mod besides my shifter.

 

Aww i paid $550 for mine...but there Leather! hahahaha I may be broke as **** now but i still have leather...

 

i just paid 300 for the front and back leather 4th gen seats out of a 98 trans am

 

where do you guys get these deals everythign ive seen is 500 or up for leather and at leas 300 for cloth and those are with imperfection..??

 

I'm doin this swap! I'm payin $500 for the front and rears. they are dark grey leather ones from a 2002 Camaro SS. The drivers seat is power also. Now how much of a bolt up is the power seat??? I want power and I will do whatever I have to get it working!

 

the power will be easy or medium difficulty - depending on if you had power seats before.

Underneath the carpet on ALL power-seat cars and SOME non-power seat cars are a power and ground wire specifically meant for the seats. You just tie into these 2 wires and put a fuse on your power wire. It's that simple.

If you don't have these wires - the electronic board might be a good idea for you. Those guys can instruct on the proper non-ghetto way to tie into you vehicle's 12V DC.

 

Mine were so cheap cause I caught the guy on a busy day and he didn't look the seats over. They had pieces of plastic glued to the cloth, engine fire melted the consol. I went home took a brush got off all of the pieces of junk, and went to walmart bought some interior cleaner, and cleaned them right up. Then I went out and bought some seat covers so I wouldn't ruin the seats when I was fiddling with stuff. So yes I have seat covers but they are for protection not for hiding. :lala:

 

I had power seats before and the wires and plug are still there...so from the sounds of it its pretty easy!

 

good friends with the guys at the local "u pull it" yard knew i was looking for a set is how i got mine so cheap.

 

I used to drive a 88ta, and the diffence in seat quality is quite impressive.

 

must just be me. i didnt notice a huge differance between 3rd gen and 4th gen seats. both are comfortable and feel the same

 

I paid $220 shipped to my door for cloth seats from a 94 Z28, I love them. Way more comfortable, and look a heck of alot better than the torn up old grey seats.

 

They are great. I got some power seats out of a 95 camaro for 110 at the boneyard.

 

It is pretty much the same seat, but the thirdgen seats are usually worn out pretty bad by the time you change them out. I think the 4th gen seats also use a little firmer buns. That's why mine made such a difference, my old ones were pretty ragged after 185,000 miles

Matt

 

maybe because my 4th gens are well worn too. i dont like how i cant ever get the seats "right" it always feels funny and when i tilt it up to where im happy i can barely get my foot on the brake because of the steering wheel.

 

I have stock leather seats in my car, and I like how they look quite a bit. But they're awfully stiff and rather uncomfortable. I don't know how they felt new, as I was in the fourth grade in 1991, but I can't imagine they were this rigid.

I've tried a few leather cleaners and such, without any discernible results. I'm beginning to think getting 4th gen seats are my only option if I want a more comfortable ride!

 

I Must be crazy then,.......... I put ThirdGen Trans Am Seats into my 95 Z this Spring !!

I'm just a sucker for the 18 Way-adjustable seats !!

It will only be temporary however as I recently bought a set of "flame red" seats and panels from another 95Z that will be installed next season. While the "flame" seats are installed I will get these TA seats re-upholstered for re-installation into the Z in around 1-2 years.

 

I love my 99 T/A Seats

 

and this

 

and this, I know I need new carpeting

 

Very nice, 1986tpiiroc! With seats that clean you don't even notice a few spots on your carpeting. Cars like yours and others posted here make me heavily consider looking into new seating. I can tell it makes a hell of a difference for the interior, both aestheically and comfort-wise.

 

$30 front & back...



$30 front & back...



Love 'em

 

what year came with theses type seats???

 

those are the ones i want

edit: except im not sure about the deat belt guides...

 

The seats are from a 95 camaro, the guides are from the original seats. I was to lazy to change them.
The ones above on my 'bird (seats are from a 96 'bird) are original too but I turned those upside down.

 

I think the 4th Gen Seats are way more comfortable then the 3rd gen ones. That and mine have power drivers and lumbar.

 

My 88 GTA came with power seats and lumbar support.

 

I havnt seen too many 3rd gens with power seats, the ones ive sat in were basic, not like the 4th gens ive been in. I havent been in too many 3rd gen firebirds and the ones ive been in werent power anything, so I really couldnt say comfort level wise. Camaro seats at least 3rd gens seem really uncomfortable to me.
