I would also like to know how well those fit if anyone's actually installed one or knows someone who has. I keep thinking about it but I keep picturing it looking cheesy cause it won't fit right. Anybody? Someone on here is bound to have some seats if you're looking for stockers J, there have been some people who have swapped out their stock seats and a few people with project cars. Junkyard seats are usually pretty bad but you could always get your stockers reupholstered if thats the look you want. Other wise Black can tell you where to get some budget APC seats .

I have seats from a '82 black/grey interior Turbo (87k miles) that I'll be getting rid of once I find a good price on these Recaro seats I've been wanting.

if you dont mind doing a little fab work there are some nice stock seats you can get from the early hondas and such. Mine are out of a 90 something prelude and with a little fab work they fit and look great. only spent 15 per seat on a sale weekend at the local yard.

The dash cap fits nice. I bought the full face cap. The onlypart that was a bad fit is the thin strip that hangs down on the right side of the glovebox. I had to trim the edge a little to allow the glovebox door to open. Now it looks a little hacked up there. I suppose I could cut it off. The rest looks fine.

thanks for the advice, i probably will buy one of those dash covers.as far as the seats go, i will probably use honda seats like u said,but i'd really like some of those C5 corvette seats like that guy on http://www.cardomain.com/ride/768663/5
but those are probably out of my price range.

Jason C., I've got a pair of dark red '89 Nissan Maxima bucket seats I was going to mount to the stock seat rails. I bet they'd look killer recovered in black leather. If I get some cash flow sometime soon, I'll fab those up in my parts car and sell them to you.

Procar by Scat has decent seats, and they will buld adapters for any application. I have a set of seats from a Beetle project that I got rid of and they will go into Penny as soon as I have the energy to call (why cant they have an e-commerce site?) the manufacturer and order the brackets
