57547, Anyone out there have cloth seats then put in OEM leather seats???
Posted by pfmicks, Sep-18-03 09:17 AM
Hi all,

Wondering if anybody changed out their cloth seats and put in oem leather seats, like off of a gsx or something. Will they bolt right into my old brackets? Stealership says they won't...don't trust them though. Also, how hard is it to put in a power seat???

I need help guys!!

TIA!

i had cloth gs seats and swapped them out with leather up front.. and fit like a charm.

Damnit, you would think that a Mitsubishi dealership would know more about their own damn cars.

Thanks, sounds good....did you install a power seat in the drivers side?

BTW...I swapped to leather and it looks soooo sweet. I don't like the leather door panels that come stock with GSXs. Just the leather seats make the car look 1000Xs better. Enjoy...


WTB:
--bolt on turbo kit (star, hahn, etc.)
--rear drum to disc set up
--internals
---------------HOLLA!!!

i wasnt able to get power seats.. but from my understanding there should be a plug under the carpet that will power the seat if it is swapped in.. as far as fitment it should be the same fit..

Yep they fit perfect! All you have to do is unbolt the cloth seats and put the leather ones in and plug in the seat. I love the way they look and I think they are much more comfortable!

Yes, they bolt RIGHT in. I have the back and front leather seats off a 99 GSX. The problem with the back seat is that its a two peice, and me being an RS, stock was a one peice, so i had to make a special mount for them in the middle. As far as the front seats though, they bolt right in. BUT, i am an RS, so that plug wasnt under the seat for the power seat.. i ran two wires from the seat to a fuse thing(not sure the correct term, its a fuse cartridge thing that has wires coming out of both sides and you slip a fuse in the middle of it) then from that i ran it into the fuse box, the one inside the car. Anyway, it looks and feels 1000000000 times better!

i drilled the holes for the bolts in the rear on mine too. dont have pics though. i just bolted them into the 2 existing holes, lined the seats up straight, and then marked the holes with a pen.

I'm in the middle of reupholstering my seats with leather, not too bad to do IMO.
