These seats should come with the brackets as the orignal ones will not work. The supplier might sell the brackets for these seats seperatly and usually will charge $100-$150 just for the bracket. I would ask them before buying! Good luck!

1: those look like ****.
2: they won't just bolt up.
3: putting "AFTERMARKET" seats in your car doesn't make it custom.
4: for ~$200 how do you think they're going to hold up.
You get what you pay for.

Thank you for your "spirited" opinion, but you need to work on your communication skills. I come on this forum to ask questions and learn because I want advice from experienced forum members I'm well aware of the concepts you speak of. So how about giving me some suggestions on seats and companies that I CAN use.

Just because they sell brackets, doesnt mean that they will work on every seat. The op can modify the stock power seats if he is capable. That being said, I went with a Corbeau setup on my t/a and loved it

I HATE logos!! The leather option was the only one to not be a billboard after the purchase.
I also purchased matching hides to re-upholster the back seats, and did the console and door panels to match (see above pics). Here is a bad pic of the backs when put in. Leather has now tightened up and looks great - even though the backs are never used for people.
Interiors need to flow well and not be chopped up/disjointed - IMO.

I have always used this analogy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! One mans woman might be a 10 and to another she might be a 5. Same goes for your ride. What makes you staying up at night thinking about what you will do to your car might not make the other guy stay up as well! To each their own!!
