Damen 02-14-2004, 01:16 PM I somehow managed to damage my drivers seat to the point where it will not pass inspection. As such, I need to get a new one.
I had planned on just getting a full set of leather seats, used, from a 3rd or 4th gen, since the existing seats are all cloth, and not great anyway. Sadly, time is running out, and I cant seem to find anyone selling a color I'd take (black/grey) in decent condition, for $400 shipped..
And so, I'm thinking I'm just going to buy a drivers seat, since really, that's the only one I NEED to replace, and I need to be buying this tonight or tomorrow. So my question to you all is: what's a good drivers seat I can get (pref. leather) for $400 shipped to PA? I know nothing about seats, so anything you guys can tell me would be much appreciated.

lordmetalz28 02-14-2004, 04:21 PM dude if you caught me like 2 months ago i redid my iroc-z interior to leather from a 97 trans am and i threw out all my perfectly good seats nobody would bid on them on ebay so i tossed em but i got my leather seats off beay for 400 bucks and a hundred of that was shipping. so keep looking if your in a pinch cavalier seats have the same bolt pattern
Damen 02-14-2004, 04:23 PM If I'd had the money two months ago, I would've ;)
The car's gettin some good overhaulin done to it right now.
New seat(s), new rear shocks, new front tires, new rear brakes, possibly a new top, new bushings... all kinds of goodies.
I checked ebay, but they've got nothing worthwhile, and like I said, I'm in a rush.
Bristol 02-14-2004, 05:49 PM Look for a guy that goes by IROCNPARTS. He should be able to help you out
slow_roc 02-14-2004, 06:49 PM i have both front and rear grey cloth outta 86 iroc (went to 95 two tone grey cloth) but idk how much it would be to ship ... or how lol
Damen 02-14-2004, 07:00 PM thanks, but cloth is easy ;) I was really hopin to upgrade to leather.
If I'm not gonna go leather for everything, then I'll just get one pretty nice drivers seat ;)
Z28James 02-14-2004, 07:07 PM grand prix's have seats exactly like 4th gen firebirds and also came in leather. another option for ya.
chevy_cowboy 02-15-2004, 07:40 AM Hawks 3rd gen parts (http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/home) always has a few sets of 3rd and 4th gen seats in leather and cloth (and sometimes fake leather)
right now it looks like all he has in real leather is white, but keep watching his main page, he'll get black or grey shortly.
scroll down toward the bottom of the main page to see the seats he has now.

Damen 02-15-2004, 09:18 AM Only trouble is, his cheap seats that I like are about 2x what I can afford, and I need to have the seats in my mechanic's hands by the end of the week.

Damen 02-15-2004, 10:44 AM what do you guys think, would this fit?

doug791 02-15-2004, 11:24 AM that looks like a cheap knock off of this

the corbeau A4 and only priced a bit more at 320 dollars, id probably go that route my self.
Damen 02-15-2004, 11:40 AM Depends how much shipping is, but my real question is: will they fit?
considering that I have the convertible, which apparently is somehow radically different from the coupes, as almost nothing will fit between the two ;)
doug791 02-15-2004, 05:30 PM no they wont fit lol apparently the corbeau brackets to put them in a third gen just plain suck, but for seats you can always fab something up or just find a way to use youre stock brackets on the seats.
