Partial Seat Swap
Hey guys, I was just wondering all your opinions on this. Answer with whatever you think. My rear seats are in fine shape, but the front two are definately worn. My parents bought me some sweet seat covers, but I was just wondering if it may be worth it to buy two 4th gen front seats to swap in. I hear they are worth the swap, but I don't know how things'll look with just the two swapped. For now I'm stuck with no money and the broken down third gen seats, but I wanna fix them over the summer, preferably. :-)
What color are the back seats? Is it something you could match to a 4th gen fabric?
If you check out ebay or your local yards, you can usually pic up rear seats for dirt cheap because alot of people are only interested in the fronts.

light gray cloth in the back. I'd probably put my seat covers on the new seats, just because I like them. So it wouldn't match no matter what. It's just that the interior of my car looks like crap, and I want to fix it up nice, as I don't have the money for much else.

Re: Partial Seat Swap
With covers, it doesn't matter.
I have tan 4th gen front seats, but still the split rear, tan rear 3rd gen seats. Can hardly tell the difference, unless you are SPECIFICALLY looking back & forth, comparing the colors. Even then, it's not enough to even care about.
