I have just found a pair of leather buckets from a late model Pontiac GTO, I am deciding whether or not to buy them the seller wants 500 for the pair. They are all leather with full power options. I had to remove the power adjustment assembly because the seat would sit too high. The seats drop right in although both runner bolts are about 1/2 inch to the inside of the existing rails.


Unfortunately photobucket is currently down.....so I will add pictures in the morning


Ok now it's back up!

If I get these I was thinking of having the "GTO" covered with an Italian flag or something similar.

Is there some way to expand the foam OR shrink the covers to make a tighter fit. I've just replace the seat cover on my 79 and it's very wrinkly. Let me know if anyone has thoughts.

Spraying the back side of the seat covers with a light mist of water can help relax the backing which will then tighten as it dries giving you a better fit.
