    Can anyone suggest some reasonably priced seat cover that fit our cars well...?? I have tried a couple sets at the local auto parts places, and they never seem to fit well..The custom ones seem to be around $220....A bit more than I can spend...Thanks for any advice on this...

    I always had luck finding them at a junkyard. The place I went charged $5. Pull yours off, drop the good one one and off ya go. Perfect fit.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I have to admit, I never thought of that..I was looking in the replacing the whole seats with better ones from a Junkyard....Thought some guys might have found some "lucky" fits at a Autozone, or such...Thanks for the idea...

    Go with the 04+ seats, they're so comfortable! Plus the passenger seat folds 180 for super easy access to the rear. You can use coupe loops too. Check out my build thread for pics of mods I've done if you want ideas. Heated power lumbar 180 fold seats are awesome!

    Passenger seat comes stock like this and you can morph it with a driver's seat to make that one fold too! Only downside is unless you swap the lumbar harness and everything, you'll loose that in your driver's seat, but I've done it. Not that hard at all. Oh, and the handle on the driver's side will be on the wrong side, but also not a big deal.

    That folding seat makes a great table when eating fast food for lunch. LOL

    I had to drive my mom around last week, and she said the seats are like their (leather) couch.

    Agreed! Though secretly I think It'd be cool to modify and fit in the grey 2000 cadillac deville seats. I see them in the junkyard all the time and they are so comfortable.... might be a bit much for a gp though. Probably would make it look like just another park avenue.

    Thanks. They are WAY more comfortable and supportive than the stock seats. The one thing I hate, and nobody mentioned before I did the swap..... you sit about 1" higher, so for a 6'3" guy, I have to have the seat all the way back, and reclined a bit more than I would normally want. I also removed the drivers side sun visor, as I found it was obstruction my view of stop lights. Other than that, they rock.

    Oh, and I paid $150 for the front and rear, so that is cheaper than most seat covers.
