Re: Sick of flat seats

Save yourself a lot of money and buy seats from a 4th gen Camaro, they're light and extremely comfortable.

Re: Sick of flat seats

Yeah that was exactly my opinion, fourth gen seats don't have that silly *****/tuner look with the holes cut out in the head rest.

Then you guys will hate me, I plan to go Bucket Corbeau's with 5pt slot. Sorry, but I require it for Drifting and my safety

I say go for it, I'd like to see different seats in our cars. I'm not a fan of putting stock seats from another car in as a replacement for our stock seats, just seems a little...IDK, cheap? T.E.H.O.

Re: Sick of flat seats

Look into aftermarket jdm seats on ebay. I paid $250 shipped for a set of fronts that looked just like the ones in the above pic but in black with some leather but mostly cloth. I could have got them in leather for the same price but I don't like leather. Thats cheaper than some used 4th gen seats, especially leather. I wouldn't recommend the seats for tall guys though(6ft and over), I sit higher with the new seats.

Re: Sick of flat seats

well hte red interior, IMO, is ugly. i think alot of people think/thought the same thing and theydid away with it. i prefer black but its hard to find black interior for are 3rd gens so i might go with dark grey.

There were gray cloth seats that came with a big red stripe the center of them but never all red for 4th Gen seats.

Re: Sick of flat seats

You could always redo your original seats in black cloth. I took an extra seat and had the foam added for extra support. Turned out fine. I was able to keep the thirdgen look and improve the comfort.

You bring up a good point about big guys because im 6'2 300lbs and I want some seats that will keep me in place with playing with ma love handles. Any suggestions?
