So I broke my freakin seat

As the title says.........here's what happend.
I'm sitting at a light the other morning jaming out to some tunes. Light turnes green and I decide to nail it. Just as I launch, WHAM! My *** get's thrown almost in the backseat. What happened? The mount from the bottom of the rail that mounts to the floor breaks right in half. So I get home and talk with the wife about it and she says go for it. So I go shopping on a Saturday morning. 15 minutes later I have a yard with the seats I want. I get there and check the seats out. Just what I wanted. Only 1 thing, there is a powder all over the seats that the police use to, um, clean up some liquid all over the seats. It was a nasty wreck. So I buy the seats out of a 2002 convertable with 15 on the clock. Get them home and throw some elbow grease into them. I wish I had pics of the before but here they are installed now.......

Now I just need to get the hardware for the coupe along with the seatbelts and we should be ready to go. Oh yeah, along with some new carpet.

Yup, direct fit. The only modifying I had to do was removing the bar for the back seat since mine had the split back rest and 4th gets only had a single backrest.

Are they a direct bolt in? Yes. Could a woman do it? Depends. My woman couldnt even open her hood without first calling a mechanic.

But i suppose thats not as bad as pouring water down my dipstick tube. (different girlfriend did that though)
