Well to tell you the truth. They are some seats i picked up at the local parts store with my military discount I got them for like 100 each new. Then got them restitched.
Here’s the link I was very impressed when i got them since they where so cheap

Are you using your original seat tracks? Also, what are you using for seat belts?

Have you fit them yet?

They are huge

The stitching looks pretty good though

Im using the tracks that came on them. Which will fit with the metal inserts for the orginal seats that are on the floor pan. But as far as seat belts the stockers will work for now . But there tan cause thats what the orginal interior color was. but im looking in to some racing seats beltsd like a 4point

Yep just got done fitting them today. You are right they are huge. I would compare them to like a c5 seat. The only problem is the center console and the e-barke cover. Im trying to think of what to do since the seat touch the drive shaft hump. I think alittle triming and it should go fine. Im going to take pics now
