Default Seat decisions.....

Anyone here done seat swaps or recovers or anything like that?

I'm looking at either recovering the seats with www.leatherinteriors.com or swapping the seats out completely. Just cant make up my damn mind. I keep seeing all these Tokyo drift looking seats on Ebay and they are god awful looking. Every other option seems to be an equally used set of stockers, or an 07-13 set of leather from like a Tahoe. But I cant seem to get a straight answer about the tracks fitting properly.

Also, going to power from a manual seat... Anyone know if the factory plug is hanging out in the harness somewhere? Or are we looking at having to do some creative wiring?

Feel free to discuss. lol

Came out pretty good, took me 2 days to make both brackets though. I modified the factory rail so the seats still slide forward and back.

Man that looks good. I'm thinking about getting my big ol factory steering wheel out of the picture.

Thinking about putting a TCI outlaw shifter in there too.

Did you just paint all the interior plastics black? It looks good
