the front seats will fit after you swap you seat brakets onto them.

More than likely not. You could probably fit them in there if you tried hard enough but you would have to make all kinds of brackets and what not to do it, that is if it is not too long or anything to physically fit in there. Your best bet would be to use the front seats and sell the back ones on ebay or what not and use the money off the back seats to have the original ones recovered to match the new fronts.

i've read posts about this before, i think the conclusion was that grand prix seats are like 3 inches too wide or something.

this thread is almost two years old.... did anyone figure out if the 95 GP seats would fit a third gen? I am going to find out tonight...going to try to swap my 92 GP seats into my 92 RS. Will post details.

oh and there is no way you would want the GP back seat in the camaro...then there would be no fold-down capability and that is so cool...

ANYTHING is possible....with enough work.

If it's too wide, cut it down the center, and have the cushions re-built, and the leather re-stitched.

Fab new mounts...

Possible? Yes.

Practical...Not with that much work, if needed.

It was raining, so I didn't try it yet. Maybe tonight. I will post results, no worries...

I'm not about to fab anything though...

I think the GP seats would look nice in the Camaro, but I'm sure about the gray Camaro seats in the GP, which has a charcoal interior... trying to get rid of that car anyway...

F-bodies have a pretty unique mounting bracket. So, I doubt it, Unless you get lucky, and the GP seats, will fit the F-Body mounts. I seriously doubt the GP mounts will fit a F-body.
