Anyone ever tried these seats?

$175 for 2 front seats sure isnt bad. I am in need of new seats for my new GTA project, and I don't think these would look bad. Has anyone ever bought these seats? How hard is it fitting aftermarket seats in?
It does list the mounting hole locations. Does anyone know the mounting dimensions for a third gen? I would go measure mine, but my car is 10 miles away in the shop. If you look at the picture it shows the dimensions, and it almost looks like it has 2 sets of rear bolt holes, so it could fit into more cars I guess. The dimensions are:
15.75" wide
Either 11" or 12.5" long
The seat is 21" wide at the base which I am pretty sure would fit between the console and door.

My seats are already out of my firebird, and I'm about to run out to the shop real quick to drop off some parts. While I'm out there I'll measure the seat mounting dimensions and see how close they are to fitting.

Okay I measured my seat mounts, and the dimensions are as follows:
13.5" wide
14" long
These are the measurements of the bolt holes on the actual seat, not the rack. The idea here is to get the aftermarket seat to bolt to the thirdgen rack, to eliminate drilling on the car. I have come up with a design for brackets. You would need to make 4 of these, 2 per side. These were quick measurements with a tape measure, but they should be pretty close. Now i'm 99% sure I will be ordering a set of these seats.
Note: The holes on the left side in the picture would bolt to the aftermarket seat, and then the right side holes would bolt to the thirdgen seat rack. This way you don't have to drill any holes in the floor, the thirdgen seat racks will just bolt right back to the studs on the floor. I also measured my seat bases (GTA power lumbar seats), which came out to be about 21" wide, and about 22" long. So these seats should have no problem fitting between the door and console.
