probally a stupid question...

hey guys I'm interested in updating my '90 camaro and I was thinking of putting in some fourth gen seats, is this an expensive swap and how easy would you say it is?
thanks tim

Re: probally a stupid question...

Theres tons of threads about it. Theyre a direct bolt in replacement. 4 bolts for each front seat, 1 bolt for each rear bucket, and 2 bolts for the rear fold down back. As far as cost, it varies. I just picked up a full set in great condition yesterday from a local salvage yard for $81 with tax. They were of course dirty and stained but nothing a little upholstery cleaner didnt fix.

Re: probally a stupid question...

the only dumb/stupid question is the one that is not asked . that being said the 4th gen. seats are a direct bolt in . i have them in my 91r/s . prices will vary , scout local wrecking yards . good luck .

Re: probally a stupid question...

If you havent done so yet, find some local junkyards and just start making trips. You never know what gem you might find. 3rd and 4th gens are pretty common in most yards. Get a quote for the seats before you even start looking and learn to haggle.
