no. But i think i've heard of it being done both ways. 2nd gen seats in a 3rd gen and 3rd gen seats in a 2nd gen.

Try it and let us know. You may have to swap out the brackets.

nostalgia? trying to build a retro-thirdgen....would be cooler in a 4th gen to touch on the retro-ness...however, most people won't sacrifice comfort for the sake of heritage.
