Obviously by the title, I am looking for a set of Leather seats (front and back) for my 99 tib. I am going to assume all tibs seats fit mine, even the newest tibs (03-current)....Do they? Or would seats from a Sunfire, or an eclipse, something small in that area, fit mine? If anyone knows, let me know smile.gif

RD1 and RD2 seats will swap. no one that i know of has done the GK seat conversion cause it seems we cant find someone that will let them take out their interior to see if it will be a direct replacement. even if it isn't, nothing a little fabrication can't handle.

REGIT stuck seats out of a acura rsx ( i think it was that model) in his orange tib but brackets i bet were made.

i figured all kinds of people would swap there cars for some leather seats. I work with a guy who has an 03' Tib. I am just going to see if he will measure the distance front to back, and side to sides where the mounting points are. Even cloth would work for me, my seats just look like I let two kids play on them...hhhmmm, wait a sec, i did.

Im going with RSX seats in mine probably when I get the money. You can make anything fit. The newer Tib seats with the red leather are HOT.

take a peek at the black/grey leather versions out of a chrysler crossfire. very comfy indeed and a very close color combo to our black grey seats.

If you want a set, let me know, I've got a full set of leathers I need to get rid of.

Well DAMN, everybody is too far away. I am afraid to see what the shipping on these bishes would be.

I was wanting one out of the newest car I could find that would fit, without changing stuff, because I suck raccoon nuts at doing that stuff.

I figured something 6 years old or something, like the RD1 and RD2's, would be faded or cracked, even if they was taken care of

I am picky, I want these in practically new car condition.


Also, I don't know why, but this thread ain't been showing up in the new posts section.

I even got it set I believe to track this topic, but It just happened to show up tonight, and had 4-5 post that I hadn't seen.

Shipping via Greyhound wouldn't be bad at all. Yeah, you will NOT find a perfect set for sale, I can almost guarantee that.

the ones I have aren't bad at all though, I bought them from someone else here, and no longer need them.

I don't know much about this, because I don't speak spanish.. but maybe try getting a quote from an upholstery shop. That way you're dealing locally and you get a new looking (and feeling) seat.
