Eclipse seats in alero

[shane3221]

Well I picked up a set of 3rd gen eclipse seats this past week for 37 bucks. Decided to fit them to my bitch. After 4 long hard hours of frankensteining the seat tracks and the cars floor I have one in let me know what you guys think.http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b497/Shane_Arthur/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps808fbf36.jpg (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Shane_Arthur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps808fbf36.jpg.html)

probably because they were $37

[sleepyalero]

Yeah but imo arent worth a 4 hour job to make em fit when they arent to special. (No offense)

[03glgold]

they are fairly comfortable

[cavedewler]

how did you get the sparcos to fit sleepy?

[[ion] C2]

same way you get any seat to fit, make an adapter plate. bolt the seats to the plate, bolt the factory sliders to the plate.

I put them in because they are comfy and better looking then the stock alero seats not to mention I don't think anyone has done it before atleast not to my knowledge plus I just put the drivers seat in today on the alero tracks took some work but makes them sit up higher which is very comfy and you can see over the hood better.

First you gotta find a small seat. But I just drilled holes in stock brackets and bolted seats down. Driver side is still power too ;) im gettin new ones soon so these will be for sale

So far my mods are grand am mirrors, cleared headlights with painted bezels black, grand am se lower side skirts "don't flame on the se skirts I'm going for a sporty slim line look" dyed back seats black and red, striped the tails? Painted interior, tinted windows. I don't have a lot of money so I'm making do with what I have at my disposal. Any other ideas?

Ohh Yeah baby 1200 watt per sub explodes ftw :jk: lol we went over this not long ago with some Infinity's...

How about a huge wing those always look cool http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TGktZ2Y4mRI/AAAAAAABhjE/VO24qL4PWaU/s1600/ridiculous_car_spoilers_09.jpg:haha: JK....you guys bust me up sometimes...

[shane3221]

Lol yea nothing better then a Honda with oversize wing and fart can haha. But I was actually thinking of removing the stock wing and patching the holes shut when I go to paint it. Was leaning towards 2 tone to match my interior. Black on top and red on the bottom. I just want it to be a nice every day car but something I can take around to the local shows on the weekends.

what does it look like with the grand am se skirts...i have seen them and wondered...they are similar to the razzi side skirts imo

Because it's his "bitch"

I'm on the fence now about what to do with the Alero's seats. Look pretty damn good for 1478xx miles compared to others I've seen, but to recover or replace, that is the question :eek:

Why you smoke the crapy paulmalls. I thought you might smoke misty or virginia slims.

Cause they are cheap haha

[negolien]

I guess seats really also depend on what you're doing. I would never replace mine with anything non leather and non motorized. Those racing guys like the racing type of seats like Sparco and Raccaro. For 91,000 miles all of my leather seats like outstanding. Aa side note does that cup holder with the flip up cover not close for everyone?

[sleepyalero]

Mine closes but I never close it

[negolien]

Maybe I' am missing a clip or something mine is on permaopen. Is it just me or does it loo0k like it's made for Kleenex lol.

[03glgold]

The one bad thing i have to say about those seats is my grandma has an 03 eclipse that she bought new that has been babied (always garaged all maintnance done early etc.) and the side of the seat back started losing thread by about 50k miles

[shane3221]

Yea I noticed he had some stitching done on the drivers seat around that area but I'm going to put sparco seats in like sleepy but in black with red inserts next year. This was just for now because they was cheap and my old seat had a big rip in the cushion.
