Seats - NOT 4TH GEN!

Ok, so my seats are shot in my '86 T/A. And 4th gen seats look killer and all, but it's been done. From the board here, I'm gonna assume (I know, bad to assume) that it's been done ALOT. Is there any other alternatives? Every non-chevy guy I talk to says Recaro after I mention seats. Any one have links? Ideas? Pictures? Prefferably leather, power, all that good stuff. But I'm looking for options!

Tom Keliher used Flo Fit seats. Look pretty good in his pics. I have no idea where to find them though.

I used to have a 86 Corvette and i loved the seats, so thats what i did. I got a set of 91 black leather corvette (non power seats) for 600 US. They went in with little trouble and there great!

u can see a pic on my page, click on trans and then mods. U might have to wait a while as my ISP is really pissing me off these days.

i was looking on ebay just yesterday...

you should be able to pickup a set of used recaro seats for 400-800...

but most likely if you are like me you want thirdgen recaro seats and those are harder to come by...

later,
Chris
