Budget Seats
I'm looking to completely replace the seats in my 1985 Firebird. The seats I have weren't ripped when I started driving the car, but needed a little help, so I touched them up with fabric and vinyl paint. It worked OK and looked decent, but after my wife started using the car as a daily driver, the seats are showing wear (30 year old fabric). So, I'm looking to replace my seats.
When I look online, I find that all the seats for sale have some sort of "racing" gimmick. I'm lazy, I don't wanna do upholstery work, and it ain't a race car. Does anyone make simple, bare-bones seats for less than $200 per front bucket, and a matching style for the back seats?

Re: Budget Seats
You must have new seats?
You can swap firebird and camaro seats around you know...and you can take 4th generation seats and they are direct bolt into third gens. Perhaps a really nice set of used seats might be better for your budget?
