Default New Seats Are In !!!

Well as some of you know my sister got me a set of seats for Christmas. I had to make a plate so the factory bracket would fit and I could keep all my power for my driver seat well I got my brackets made up and here they are. The seats sit up about a half an inch more than stock (had to use a spacer)and the seats are a little thicker and taller all around so I sit up just a little but thats fine :-) they are very comfortable, I still have power everything and they match the stock rears almost perfect.








Stock Rails


slid all the way back btw

My friend has some in his Z28 (Mcmuffin) and his are pretty nice. They do sit you a little higher than stock but not too bad. Looks great.
