Default GTO Seats?

Anyone know if these bad boys would fit in our cars?

I got the chance to sit in an 06 GTO and I fell in love with it. Would be an amazing car to DD and have the TA as a weekend racer but there just isn't enough money to go around for two cars.

There was a discussion about this months ago on here... But I think it was more about how the back look like buckets.

Im sure they can fit, but the question you're wanting is to how much of a PITA it is to make them fit. I know C5 seats fit with some retrofit, as will the Poncho seats swap over to us Bowtie guys with a bit of retro fit. But I have no clue about the GTO seats.

Uh I lost you there... This thread here is asking if its possible to get GTO seats in our F Bodies, right? And I said there was a thread about it a few months ago on here, but the thread turned into a fight about if the back seats in the GTO were really bucket seats of if it was a bench that looked like buckets.

So... yeah, what is coming out anyway?

have you checked the prices of GTO seats?? I thought about it too, til I checked. Read this:
http://www.arizenracingsports.com/pa...zen/CTGY/Seats

Right now I have the Corbeau FX1:
Corbeau FX1

I am tall and with the pad in I hit my head on the roof, so I took it out and sit on the HARD part, but around town it ain't bad but a few hours on the road and it hurts my ****, so I put the stocker back in
I read on here where you can mount a seat to your stock brackets which would make them lower, you just need some tabs on there, so I am working on that. There is a thread titled "Corbeau CR1 seat......" in here.
