I just bought these GTA seat, what do you think?

Just bought driver and passenger GTA seats that were for sale on Ebay. For both of them including shipping from california to Canada it came to about $800. What do you think?

I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing hahaha. They're on their way way right now, I can't wait to see them, and yes I was cringing while paying $300 for shipping for both of them

Still.... Cheaper than driving the miles to pick up them, but not near as much fun. Hope they arrive soon!

$275 per seat? I personally think you paid too much.

I agree. I got a complete set front and rear 4th gen Camaro black leather seats for $400 a few years ago. Absolutely no rips, tears, etc. They look almost new. Maybe prices have gone up over the last couple years.

That's true but GTA seats (in good working condition) getting a lot harder to find than standard camaro seats

FYI... 4th gen Trans Am seats are basically the exact same seats as the GTA's.

But they're still not 3rd gen seats and I'm not really a fan of the 4th gen headrests

Do you currently have the power seat harness in your car? These seats are power lumbar? Not difficult to build the harness if you need to.
