Finally got the Grand Prix seats installed in my Regal. They give this car a completely different feel when on the road. Looks and feels like a completely different car. I love it. Any ideas if the rear seats out the 98 Grand Prix will directly fit also? Thanks?

Looking good. Straight install or did you do some fab work?
Saved these pics years ago, can't remember the year of the seats but the guy did put the rear in also. If I recall it wasn't too much to do...

I used some 08 GP front seats with minor fabbing of the seat pan using bucket seat tracks.. My GP aficionado boy Dru figured it out and also used the rear seat with minor fabbing :mrgreen: gonna mod the seat bracket covers to blend in, changed the look real quick!

iirc, the 02-05 monte carlo seats fit pretty dead on...looks like you have the perforated leather gp's? Ohhh, you are making me go nuts. :lol: I been looking for those seats in the daylight with a flashlight, but cant seem to find any 2door seats in the Junk Yard, only the 4 drs, no good.

Anyways, the 2dr gp's and the 02-05 monte carlos are pretty similar cars, either type may work for you. what route did you go to get them to mount. :?:

Crazy thing is these GP seats mounted directly to my 60/40 seat brackets. All I had to do was fabricate a spacer in the rear of the brackets so the seat would sit higher. For some reason the GP seats arch higher in the back? But it wasn't that challenging. Lol

So which seats fit best? Two door, four door? I have some of all of these available close by. At least one 2008 GP. I'd like to swap front buckets and rear seats to match. Leather would be great. Right now I have 60/40 electric seats.
