Default GTO seats

was looking at the 2005 GTO on the pontiac website, was wondering if anyone knows if the front seats would bolt into a 2001 trans am? or if the rear seats could be bolted into the rear of the trans am?

That should probably be your first concern. If anyone got rid of those seats, it would totally throw off the interior. I think those seats ROCK! I sat in a GTO yesterday. Very high quality interior, especially compared to ours.

The dealer i asked about the seats said that GM was selling the seats piece by piece only, i.e. headrest, seat back, seat, bottom, motors, etc. I think it was ~$1000 per front seat. Not sure about the back ones.

The GTO seats are truly baddass, but for that kind of money I'm going after the Vette sport seats.

what about putting the gauges from a gto in a trans am? i would assume it wouldnt work mainly because of the differet computers in each car?
