Eclipse seats in alero
Well I picked up a set of 3rd gen eclipse seats this past week for 37 bucks. Decided to fit them to my bitch. After 4 long hard hours of frankensteining the seat tracks and the cars floor I have one in let me know what you guys think.  |

Because it's his "bitch"
I'm on the fence now about what to do with the Alero's seats. Look pretty damn good for 1478xx miles compared to others I've seen, but to recover or replace, that is the question

same way you get any seat to fit, make an adapter plate. bolt the seats to the plate, bolt the factory sliders to the plate.

I put them in because they are comfy and better looking then the stock alero seats not to mention I don't think anyone has done it before atleast not to my knowledge plus I just put the drivers seat in today on the alero tracks took some work but makes them sit up higher which is very comfy and you can see over the hood better.

Lol yea nothing better then a Honda with oversize wing and fart can haha. But I was actually thinking of removing the stock wing and patching the holes shut when I go to paint it. Was leaning towards 2 tone to match my interior. Black on top and red on the bottom. I just want it to be a nice every day car but something I can take around to the local shows on the weekends.

I guess seats really also depend on what you're doing. I would never replace mine with anything non leather and non motorized. Those racing guys like the racing type of seats like Sparco and Raccaro. For 91,000 miles all of my leather seats like outstanding. Aa side note does that cup holder with the flip up cover not close for everyone?
