Hi, I just got two forth gen leather, very dark grey (charcoal) seats with power baby!! for 50 bucks. They are in great condition. No rips, and the seats look almost new.


How did I do it?

I just dirtied them up a bunch with dry dirt and made them look like crap.
Than I took them in, and the guy was like "Man you got a **** load of cleaning to do". I was happy, and he said 50 for both!

Now I have bitching seats for 50 bucks.

Tommorow I hook up the power.

Yea baby.

I'll try to get pics up soon!

laters.

 

Very, Very nice. Hahha I will use that trick someday. Congradulations, I'm Jealous.

 

you did not get the rear seats? it will look half #$% if you only put in the front.

 

damn! nice score.

 

Heck of a score, persistance pays off. I got some grey leather ones fronts and back for $60, from a 95 Camaro.

 

lmao I never woulda thought of that, and I'd be too scared to rub the dirt around on the leather. Good job man!

 

hahaha, same here.

 

Good score!
I got a set of '91-'92 Trans Am/GTA two piece taillights for only $30.00 (for both) myself, not too long ago!
In perfect condition too!
And, a complete set of 15th Anniversary Trans Am Recaro seats, including the rears, for only $35.00 for all. This was quite awhile ago, like 10 years or so.

I have a rear seat compartment, so no rear seat.

That dirtying up thing is just on the surface. It works like a charm when youre on a budget.

I am getting a little camera tommorow so I'll post some pics. The seats look great.

 

Hooked the power seat up today and it works. Amazing. I've been playing with it. bzzzzzzz up, bzzzzzzz down, bzzzzzz back, bzzzzzz foth

 

Can you snap some pictures? I wanna see the seats your scored.

 

yea pics would be great. mind taking one of where the rear seat compartments are lol.. I have been tihnking on removing my rears and putting something more practicle in it's place.

 

damn! $35 for recaros?? man id love to find that deal!!!

 

like he said it was 10 years ago lol.. not like you will find anything like that now in a jy that does not need to be completely recovered lol

 

The rear seat is removed, but I am yet to make the compartment. I took measurements and I cut some wood. Now, I am rethinking it, and wanna make the speaker box out of fiberglass.
I ran out of funds for a camera (I know). So, I'll try to get my friend to lend it to me. I am sorry to anyone who is expecting pictures from me. But, the tranny flush was a must today .

I will try to reply with pics as soon as possible.

Laters.

 

[IMG][/IMG]Pictures as promissed. Note, I still haven't made the rear compartment, so don't give me grief about not getting the rear seats! [IMG][/IMG]

 

the seats look great! what's that mounted on the passenger side of your dash?

 

You might just want to remove the back seats and leave them out.I removed mine a while ago for some reason or another and couldn't think of a single reason to put them back in.Problem solved...

 

Lol I plan on taking out one and building a storage box that extends the cargo area in the rear hatch. Wait can you take out just one?

 

Good find Sasa!!

 

Hi-6 ignition box!

 

Sasa I hate you

 

No you don't . I think since i am not a lucky guy I deserve this. These seats seemed to be from a late fourth gen. I was just too excited to look and figure it out.

 

I think he saw the rest of your interior and felt bad for you. Good score.

 

(can't judge work in progress!)

 

Dang man! The only JY anywhere close to me that had ANY seats out of ANY f-body 1990 or newer had one pair one essentially new tan leather seats. Cost? 225.

And they aren't even black!

 

Nice deal!!

I wish I had that kind of luck. No JY nearby with any seats of that quality. I am stuck with surfing, e-bay, and the options I've chosen - recovering.

Good job you lucky dog!!

 

No saint inhabiting my skin, but frankly it sounds like you're bragging over being dishonest

JamesC

 

Not as bad as your woofer box lol.IMHO i think its ugly lol

but the rest of your car rocks

Awsome score hellraiser!They look bitchin!

The other day I was at the j/y and I saw a stripped 92 Z28.The only thing left was the cig lighter ,the one with yellow writing.It was mint.I grabbed it because it was the only thing left.I was disapointed I got to the 92 to late so I tossed the lighter to the ford section.I go on ebay later and those lighters sell for some cash for some reason

 

I think ive seen more dishonest j/y's so its all good

 

So one dishonesty breeds a second? Since this isn't a forum concerned with moral issues, I'll have done now.

JamesC

 

Wow, you guys serious? I wasn't being disshonest! I just dirtied the seats to lower thier value. I came in before hand to ask how much would it cost for the pair of seats. They told me 100. So, with that in mind I went and got them. However, I dirtied them up and when I took them in, the guy who gave me the first quote was not there, and the other guy just glazed over and told me 50 for both.
I am starting to think that there might be some jelousy from some members here. When did you see my sub box?? WTF!

 

Good grief. I hope you see the irony in your statement. I think I'm done now.

JamesC

 

Yeah I wasn't going to say anything about that either.. but I have no choice. What goes around comes around comes to mind.

 

Hahahhahaha, yea I guess there is irony there.However, don't be sad that you did not think of ,dirtying anything to get a lower value, first. I am going to hell, acroding to these two guys.

Oh and I take it you probably pay for all of your screws and little duedads that you stuff in your pocket when you go to JY!
But, that wont send you to hell.

You gotta think about what you are acusing me of!

 

well damn! even if they did need to be recovered id buy em for $35! theyre goin for somethin like $100 on ebay that need to be recovered (from what ive seen, you guys might see better deals than i have... well im actually positive you have)
----------
yeah dude, who cares? i dont think its "disshonesty", rather, i believe his stradegy to be "intelligent money saving technique"
to save $50 id do it.

 

Your "intelligent money saving technique" is fraud: A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. Humm. Ok, I really am done now. Happy Easter.

JamesC

 

I like how every one of James C's 4 or 5 posts is his last one It is technically cheating the system, but if someone working at a junkyard can't tell the difference between torn destroyed seats and ones with some surface dirt, then tough luck. Junkyards know their prices are negotable. And now i'll just wait for James C's next last reply
