Nice. Those are TII right? I am trying to find some leather ones for my first gen. Did they bolt right in?

Those are T2 seats. I did the swap in my car last yeat. Passenger side IIRC is a direct bolt in while the drivers side you have to change one of the rails...I can't remember which side.

That is the shortest shifter I have ever seen lol! Did you cut it?

yeah they are from a turbo ii, id rather have cloth, i had the leather seats (gsl-se) but i slid around too much around turns, but i guess that is because of no lumbars. No problems with the fit, except on the drivers side the right front bolt doesnt line up, i either have to drill another hole, or bend the bracket, but the passenger seat lined up just fine.

Whoa, I didn't even notice the shifter. That is tiny! It seems like it would be kind of hard to shift though.

You can just pull the rails from your old driver's seat and slide them into place on the new driver seat. Wish I'd known this before I did the same swap (even same grey color too). I used a dremel to slot (not open) all four holes on the TII rails instead.

If my shifter ALL OF A SUDDEN looked like that, I'd know my tranny is dropping out.

I have some NEW bagged black parts. I'll see what I've got and PM you. Mine went from brown to black 8 years ago. Brings back memories. Nice.
