jeremy Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 I think these seats are either from an intrigue or alero....if they are from one of the two, will they bolt in? thanks Quote
DiscoStudd Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 I would say no, but all hope is not lost. I swapped in Grand Am seats into a Cavalier before, and though they weren't a direct bolt-in, all I had to do was put the tracks from the old Cav seats onto the GA seats, and viola they fit. If the Cutty seats and these Alero/Intrigue seats have the same "bolt pattern" on the cushion for the seat tracks, then you could easily swap the Cutty tracks onto the new seats... Quote
HokemBokem Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 Those are nice Same color leather as me too Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 Those look bigger, so I'm thinking Intrigue, But theres a good chance they won't fit. Quote

It should work Quote
jeremy Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Posted October 26, 2004 interesting....maybe I will have to go check these out....no rear seat though Quote
jeremy Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Posted October 28, 2004 I think that I am going to pick these up this weekend....I don't if they will fit or not though but I think I will take my chances Quote
midnight rider Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 just swap over the seat rails and you'll be fine. I put a set of 85 t-bird seats in the front of my 87 firebird by doing that. BTW, any with a third gen f-body, I'd strongly recomend the swap I just said. It made my car so much more comfortable to drive. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 I think that I am going to pick these up this weekend....I don't if they will fit or not though but I think I will take my chances Well, for what its worth, GOOD LUCK!! And I want your charcoal leathers!! Hell, for those seats, Ill fuckin INSTALL the new ones!!! AND give you a bag of pizza rolls!! lmao.. Good luck! Quote
jeremy Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Posted October 28, 2004 I figure that I can't go wrong, I am getting a fucking steal on the tan ones.....I am most likely going to pick them up Saturday Quote

supreme_style21 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 They look to be from an Intrigue, so keep in mind, the seatbacks will not fold forward if you're concerned about that. Quote

If that is the case I know where the is a turbo coupe that is about to lose some seats. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 1998 Intrigue.. very close.. yet not quite. Perhaps a newer Intrigue.. I don't know when/if they changed the seats. Definately isn't an Alero seat though. Quote

You're on your own for the back seat though.....lol Quote
jeremy Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Posted October 30, 2004 well I got the seats this morning and they look really good....the tracks are about 1.5 inches too wide and also a little too long so I will have to make some custom brackets, but the physically do fit...... ....they appear to have some sort of wiring that I would guess is for seat heaters, as both seats are manual tracks....the seats have me interested because they are definitely GM seats but appear to be some sort of "prototype" or something....the have actual engineering notes on them with a hand written GM serial number and install date, I will take a pic of the writing soon....I might take them appart to find out if indeed there are seat heaters in them and if there are I will try to figure out how to work them....but making the brackets will be my first project....but for $20 I couldn't go wrong....

Dirty Rockstar Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 How do you know theyre definately GM seats? The fact that 3 wires that do 3 separate things are the same color? Or the STUPID ass red connector clips? lol Sweet score man.. 20 bucks?!??!!! FUCK!! THey got anymore GM seats? Specificaslly, like your Cutty ones or GP ones in black leather?!!?1 Quote

jeremy Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Posted November 15, 2004 well.....I got the driver's seat in....it looks good, but I don't know if I am going to keep it in or not....It is a little bit higher of a ride then the cutty seats, and I am not to particularly fond of it....maybe I will just turn the tan leather buckets/rear console from Jay into a nice little PS2 seat setup in my basement... a pic of the driver side will follow sometime this afternoon...
