Newer seats

I want to change my seats. I'm thinking about the fourth gen camaro seats or something. Please post a picture of you seats, so i can see the apperance/look of the seats. The only problem with the 4th gen seats is everyone rubs the side material off when they slide in. Heres a picture, it looks good but you can already see were they have been sliding in.

I dunno guys to me it was a no brainer I put in 1997 Z28 black leather seats, it couldnt be easier it took no more than 45 minutes to install. And it simply looks like it should have come from that factory like that. Only prob with leather is you gotta watchout for tears and rips.

Don't worry about using the 4th gen back seats.
I was very happy with the way they fit in my car.

I know whatcha mean about people shredding your seats, they just plop right downk, taking out the bolster while they're at it.
