I found a place that made me this set of skins for about $200 out of vinyl, obviously, because of the price difference to get leather.
spdrcr29 where did you get that cover at I want one like that but a bit different.

Re: Late model seat ideas ?

I put the seat out of my dads 98 GMC 4-door in mine (came out of the rear, so it doesn't slide)

I haven't done the mounts for the rear yet, but it will be pretty easy

I'm 6' 3" & I think it sits a little high (but its only a inch taller than the stock one, & I thought the same thing about the stocker) I will get around to cutting it down in the future

I plan to cut as much out as I can (prolly like 3-4 inches)

That way I'll be sitting a little closer to the middle of the window

But thats just me, maybe it's that extra 3" I have on ya

But call them by phone.... I tried for about 3 days to get the "contact us" part to work before I just gave up and dialed.... I'm a slow learner, what can I say
