The only ones I'm aware of that were offerd was a 1 piece fold down seat,, and one just like it that was split 50-50 folding

My camaro has a solid folding & my bird has the 50-50,, I'd go out and take a pic of the bird but it's kind of all taped up at the moment

None (that I've ever seen or heard about) were like 2 seperate bucket seats in the back

I saw those in a junkyard; figured I'd go back next week and get them- gone! There's an article in the tech section of thirdgen.org on how to swap them in. It deals mainly with installing the bracket that goes between the split seat back, to allow each seat to tilt forward.

can anyone take a picture of these mini bucket seats they are talking about?....are they just like the bottom of the seats?...or is the back fully split? (not just the dual fold down backs) i mean is there a space (like noticable ie. more then a inch or two) between the backs of the seats?
thanks
