I really like the look and feel of C4 seats. By any chance will those seats bolt in? If not, is there a way I could get those seats to fit in a thirdgen?

I seem to recall the subject coming up before, but the answer escapes me. You might try a search.

my friend is doing that in his maro come summer time his dad has an extra set of seats lying around. They wont bolt right in but all it takes is switching the tracks between the two seats.

I've got a pair in my Formula. I wound up drilling holes to mount the F body seat tracks to the Vette seat and then fabbing a set of spacers to get the correct angle. Contrary to popular opinion you can fit amplifiers underneath them(depending on size) and they do recline some,just not all the way back like the stock seats do. My OE setas were still good but I needed more support due to a back injury and these fit the bill quite well and for far less than any Recaro could.
