These seats are out of a 97 Firebird. So much better than the 3rd gen seats.

 

Looks great, and blends in so well. That's going to be one of the first mods I do to my interior. My problem is that I've got a burgundy interior...

 

One of the best things I have done to my car.

 

I have the same ones from a 97 bird as well, great improvement over stock

 

4th gen seats are hands down the easiest mod and a near direct fit. I am lucky enough to get them for $50 a set from my local yard and have done the swap 3 time already, even leather

 

I swapped the 4th gen front seats in, but left the stock rears for the split rear back cushions. The tans are such a close match, if not the exact same, I can't tell any difference in the colors.

 

LOL, 82ironduke, where do you live that you can get them that cheap? I need some... Havent taken a vacation in a while...Hmmm.

 

did you come to nebraska and steal my seats? haha looks great!

 

dude awsome job man, i want to do the same with my z. i want some vinyl or leather or whatever is that they come in the 4th gen camaros.

 

Hey I just read this thread on firebirdnation lol

 

Alot better seats for sure

 

Thanks everyone. Dont know why I waited so long to do this swap!! One of the best things I have done on the car for sure!!





Well hey you.

 

That does look good. I paid 800 for a set a couple of years ago. You cant even find them here (Phx, AZ) in good shape unless you are willing to pay a fortune for them. I'm jealous! LOL

 

looks awesome. Indeed a nice mod that makes a big difference. Looking at doing the same to my 89

 

I agree they look great. I have the exact same seats aswell, I paid like
$40-$50 for mine aswell... Now I'm searching for some leather Trans Am seats...

 

Sexy interior!

So direct bolt on? I can get some leather ones out of an 2001 SS right now. Only the pass side has a tear in the middle. Which is much better than I can say for my current third gen seats.

 

Lol hey hey.
Im 1SassyFRB on firebird nation.

 

I miss my 2000 Bird

Seats were deff more compfy...

 

Got the same in mine along with the 4th gen console. Later.

 

Nice swap! Those are the seats I want for my Z! Cloth and non-power!

Where in the world are you guys getting these seats so cheap?? I find zip in any local bone yards and keep an eye on ebay with no real scores! Anyone got a set like this and want to trade for some Iroc wheels with custom made billet center caps?????

 

Thanks!! And yes the 4th gens seats bolt directly in.



That looks good. I have been considering doing the console swap myself.




I actually bought mine off ebay. I searched around for about a month till I finally found these. Cost me alittle extra because of shipping but still well worth it.

 

Thanks Strocked, I used an auto console and it still needs some fine tuning, I heard the manual console are easier. Later.

 

I don't know about anywhere else, but 4th gen seats pop up on craigslist pretty regularly here in DFW. I've seen several sets in good condition acvertised for $75 - $125, front and rear.

 

Great seats. A new set of black carpet would really set off those seats.

 

Yea i want a set of black ones for that cheap. Hook me up

 

Man that looks good in there. How easy or hard is it to put a set of power seats from an 01 in a 90 GTA?

 

Thanks!! The seats from the 01 should bolt directly into the 90 then you will just have run some wiring from the power switches on the seats to the fuse box. Not to difficult at all.

Are the wiring harnesses for the 4th gen power seats a direct fit for the 3rd gen harness? Should I expect to be able to replace my power 3rd gen seats with 4th gen seats simply by disconnecting the old seats and hooking up the new ones? Has anyone done this? Thanks!

 

Hey, Lowell,

'Bout time you added some class to your ride (you were giving thirdgens a bad name )! There is/was a set of gray leather seats on craigslist in the KS area, IIRC, that looked very cool. Got the car back together?

Oh, by the way, I drove the Jeep through Tongie and DIDN'T get a ticket. I'm a happy boy.

Sorry but I am not sure about this. I didnt have power seats originally. I would think worse case senario you may have to splice the 4th gen harness from the seats into your 3rd gen harness but I cant say for sure.


Hey James,

Yeah I know I am such a slacker!! Wish I would have seen those seats. A set of Leather seats would have been sweet. But I am very happy with the seats I did get. Big improvement.

Yep car is all back together just in time to put it in winter storage. But atleast shes ready for next summer now!!


Very nice. I am so proud of you for not getting a ticket. Your just growing up so fast.

 

hey i just got a set of 4th gen seats for my Z for 70 bucks do they bolt on or do i need to make some adjustment?

thanks

 

My next thing to do now that the motor is complete. Hard to find leather ones that are manual though

 

Bolt'em up.

JamesC

 

Yep the 4th gen seats are a direct bolt in. No adjustments or modifications just bolt them in and go.

 

my fronts bolted right in the back one was slightly smaller, so i am using the 2002fronts, and the original backseats and getting all of them reupholstered with black and red ostrich

 

Awesome mod. Do the seats blend well during a ride? $50/set is cheap

 

[QUOTE=88GTAvert;3956768]My car now has power leather seats and the only thing I had to do for wiring was swap the pinouts from the 3rd gen powerseat harn. to match the 4th gen plug.

 

Glad to hear it can be done easily. Did you eliminate the 3rd gen plug end of the wiring harness and use both male and female plugs from the 4th gen or did you mate the 3rd and 4th gen plugs?
The seats I purchased only come with the harness that runs from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat. I was hoping to mate my 3rd gen harness to the seats 4th gen plug? Is that what you did?

 

Installed a set of 2002 Trans Am power seats in my 88 GTA last month. The seats come with 1 wiring harness that runs between both seats. Other than that there is 1 two wire (orange and black) hook up that supplies power to the seats. All you have to do to is splice the orange and black wires from the seat harness to the orange and black wires from the car (if you had power seats in your 3rd gen) and it works like magic! Its that easy!

I was worried about the power seats...would they work...would they not...but it was too easy. Connect orange to orange and black to black and enjoy!

 

Not a original idea, installed 4th Gen seats in my 87 Iroc-z seven years ago.

 

Looks good in there, specially with the 4th gen console.

 

this is basically the best mod out there!

mine were only $60 but i really had to clean them up.

and there is way more leg room and they are alot more comfortable also!

BTW, your interior looks really nice

 

Well I am just real happy for you!!


Thanks!!


Thanks!!

 

I got the exact same seats (the original post) in the 88 Trans Am I just bought. The are graphite color, same as the first post.

Does anyone know where I can buy that color / syle fabric? I want to redo my door panels and would like to add fabric to match the seats to get a more factory look.

yourautotrim carries regal silver, but not graphite or dk grey. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow....just wanting to see what others bought.

 

Looks good. I like the 4th gen console too. I need a cup holder. :|

 

Do the 4th gen seats sit lower than stock? I have a set in the car I just bought and have a hard time seeing over the hood.....I'm not a midget by any means (5' 6") but another inch or so would be nice.

 

Yes they do...Which is nice for us 6'5" people....No more head rubbing on the headliner, when I hit bumps in the road.

 

ok, no biggie, I guess I need to hit mcmaster carr for some metal spacers. About how much lower do you think?

 

Do the rear seats from the fourth gen fit right into the third gen too? Cause I snatched a pair of front gray cloth fourth gen seats from a totalled car at the junk yard and I know they bolt right in, but the shade is slightly off, so I'm debating getting the rears out of the totalled car as well. Just cause I'm OCD and I need it to match.

 

they look good. im geussing they just bolt right in?
