Default GTO Seats!

I was just wondering if anybody new if a front set of 2005 Gto seats would fit into my Z. They are black and they only want $400.
If i can get the red stains off.

I heard the bottom of the seat is much thicker and that it would make you sit up to high. I would love for somebody to try it though. The GTO are way better then ours

i tried..

other people on here have tried as well.

Seats are wider than Fbody seats.. you would have to remove the center console, redesign and fabricate new mounts on the floor plan as well..

plus.. they sit VERY high and you wouldnt be able to lower them enough without looking like you are in a SUV or truck.. not to mention the shear weight of these seats.. good lord..
