Not to bad we bolted the stock sliders to the floor. Then bolted 1inch square tubing to the racing seats them bolted the tubing to the sliders. Plus my drivers seat is still power.

I usually dont like racing seats but those look quite good

but still my main problem remains finding matching back seats the simple answer is go buy some but my budget doesent allow me to just go out and "pick some up"

Looks good, probably a bear to get in and out with the large side bolsters, but sit nice once you get in. Good price too.

I've seen 4th gen ebony leather back seats go for $50-$60 on Ebay.

$125 each! I saw some red/black ones that were the same brand at the junkyard, and the only difference is that they had Carbeou seat belts, and the owner tried to tell me that they were for sale for $500 for both! It's a good thing I didn't buy them!

i got my ebony leather back seats from a boneyard for 20 bux...unfortunately the fronts were twisted, so im using cloth @ all 4 corners until i can find ebony fronts. Even though both would be leather seating, ebony leather wouldn't match up to that style (w/ the holes in it) or are they vynal? either way they wouldn't match, although they would be closer than the cloth back seast.

I'd say, your best bet is to try your hand at some stitching if you tend to pick up on things well it shouldnt' be that big of a deal. If not, find yourself a friend, or get buddy buddy w/ someone who's got experience in upolstry (sp), Then find the material (assuming it's not to expensive since the seats weren't overly priced) and have the back seat covered up to match. If you're lucky, the guy/girl will also be able to stich something in the middle of the back seats to make them be a 100% match for the front, if not, you could alwasy have a logo added to the front. although, if it gets to crowded, and people have to start "reading" what your car's about, you will have defeated the entire purpose.
