FS: Recaro Seats & Seat Skins (Perfect for G85 Guys!!!)
Selling my 2004 Redline Black/Blue Recaro Seat Skins & Rear Seats
All in EXCELLENT condition. NO stains, rips, tears or anything like that.
These WILL easily swap into a Cobalt SS/SC with Recaro seats!!
And yes the rear seat will swap too! It turns your stock 3 seat bench into a 2 seater with a tray/console inbetween.
You're getting:
-The front seat skins: 2 lower covers, 2 upper covers & 2 headrest covers (VERY easy to swap!!)
-The rear seat bottom with tray/console & skins on it (clips right in!)
-Rear seat bracket with 2 torx bolts to hold the upper cushions (4 bolts holds it into the car)
-2 upper cushions with skins on them already (the 2 torx bolts holds these onto the bracket above)
I'll also throw in a almost new 15mm ratcheting wrench that makes swapping the rear seats a lifesaver (2 bolts are hard to get to & under the cushion).
Everything is there to do the swap....you just have to reuse your 4 stock bolts that hold the rear seat frame in!!
If local, I'll help do the swap too....it's not hard at all though!

PICS (spots in the pictures are on the camera's lens...NOT on the seats!!):

Those will be up for sale in a year (when my lease is up) 
I think these would be perfect for a guy with a Black or Silver or ESPECIALLY BLUE G85 packaged SS/SC.....just to make their car different or have all color matched seats or match the blue paint (if you have a blue car)
I swapped to '06 Redline Black/Gray seat skins (like the SS ones, minus the "SS" lettering) is why I'm selling....just like the G85 SS/SC setup:
Front & rears for $300????
Cobalt SS Recaros go for like $500-$800 at a recycler/dismantler.
Even the non-Recaro ones get like $400-500 for the set
A set of Redline Recaros (front & rear) went for $740 on ebay last week!!!
And a month ago a couple other sets went for for around $400

BUT they ONLY will fit the Recaro Seats from a Ion Redline or Cobalt SS/SC G85.....they won't work on the normal SS seats (since they lack the bolstering & the seat foam is TOTALLY different)
The front seat skins will NOT fit on the stock seats though....sorry
They only fit the Recaros

Yup it was the last year for them (just like the Cobalt SS/SC) & production stopped in September 2006
Mine was built in July '06 & I bought it in August '06
Didn't come with the Recaros either (downfall of the 2007's--came with crappy regular Ion leather seats....I had to do some swapping of components to get them to work & I'm the only '07 Redline with Recaros)

Get a set from Schram's auto from a Ion Redline (2004-2006).....they're only $400 for the front & rears and on ebay all the time. 2004-2005 had blue inserts & 2006 had gray inserts (like the SS/SC)
If you try & find a set of Recaros from a SS/SC (G85)....they're only gonna be the front seats (the back seats were plain leather) and they're gonna be A LOT of $$$$
The only difference is that the Ion Redline seats don't have the "SS" embroidered in them, which is a good thing since you have a "LS" model anyways
The Redline seats are easier to find & cheaper too
check www.car-part.com as well
