bluegp Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Does anybody know if there is any other back seat that will interchange with a '00-'05 Impala's back seat. Like maybe a '97-'03 Grand Prix one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farqineh Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 NOPE.......Just curious.....why do you need to change the back seat???? :alcoholic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 My guess is that he wants to swap in the 97-03 Grand Prix Leather seats.. Seeing as how theyre literally ALL OVER ebay.. I would think they can be put in.. But I am not 100% there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegp Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 NOPE.......Just curious.....why do you need to change the back seat???? No. They won't fit, they're different bolt patterns. You'd need spacers. Do you guys know from experience? So, the mounting points are different? (spacers - won't the offset make the seats rub on the calipers? LOL) What about the shape/dimensions of the seat - are they way different? I was wondering if I could look at other donor cars for the seats. Right now, the 9C1 has no back seat. It's a long story, but it came that way from the police dept. The guy I got the car from has a bunch of brand-new take out police back seats being shipped and is supposed to send me one. If I get the seat, I guess I could leave it as it originally came (cloth front buckets/vinyl back - all blue). The fronts are a little beat up though. If I look for another set of seats, I guess the easiest thing to do would be to find some blue Impala seats. IIRC, only base Impalas had blue, so I'd have to get a front bench (unless I can find another set of police package seats). The police buckets feel pretty decent - nice & firm - but a little light on the side bolstering. I'd really like to have buckets and if I decide to replace them, I figured why not look into some sportier ones with their matching back seat. But then, what other compatible cars had blue interiors? Then I remembered the thread from Mommytaz about dying the seat fabric with fabric dye. I'm not too sure about that though. I guess the 3 realistic options I have are: 1. leave as is (if I indeed receive the back seat), 2. a set of blue cloth Impala seats with front bench, or 3. blue cloth Impala back seat with original or other front buckets recovered to match.

GP1138 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ok, sorry, I'm a moron. I thought you wanted to swap newer seats into an older car. I didn't actually READ the Impala part, though I'm still pretty sure it won't fit. Sorry. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I really don't see why it WOULDN'T fit. Okay, the bottom of the rear bench. Does it attach by clips? If so, that's just like a GP, so we know that part would fit. The rear part of the seat should be identical. I don't see why they'd change it..

EurosportZ34 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 great question...so with these "spacers" would you be able to swap newer seats (1997+) into a first gen W? where does one get these spacers to do this? i'm curious as hell!

brianteel Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I tried it. spent about 3 days trying to make it work and it is not worth the effort. the front seat uses a hook not a bolt. and the back is just huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not trying to put these in a first-gen. He's trying to put them in the same generation W-body. All the bottom seats on the second-gen's have the hook/release clips. The backs look all the same. I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianteel Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 oh if that is the case then you are right they should go right in. the back seat get from a 4 door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 ...not trying to put these in a first-gen...put them in the same generation W-body...I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Exactly. I would assume the back seat has nearly the dimensions, but who knows, maybe it used different mounting points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Does anybody have pictures of the back side of a ('97-'03) Grand Prix or ('00-up) Monte Carlo rear seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout524 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Huh, I was pretty sure that seats from one 2gen W-body would bolt right into another 2gen W-body. I was toying with the notion of putting leather GP seats into the Intrigue, but i don't really have that kinda money atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Like, everyone else has said I don't see why they wouldn't fit either. It's the same gen. Maybe post at a Impala site and ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
