recaro seats...
has anybody on here taken the REAR recaro seats out of an ION redline and put them into a cobalt ss? i have an entire set of recaros from a redline and i just want to know if the rear ones can be made to fit a cobalt before i do something with them.

So are they rear buckets? or a bench made to look like two buckets?
I had rear buckets and center console swapped into my old 95 GTP... Sometimes I miss that car

OK, so I've found myself a set for $400 CDN, they are blue though. This fabric spray you speak of, can you direct us to any threads where its been used?
I dyed the first set of rear bucket seats I put in my GTP black (could only find grey) and that turned out very badly for anyone that sat in them, lol, especially if they wore white.

Were these quad bucket seats only available with the blue insert? or did they come in other colors like a grey or black?
I haven't heard back from the upholstery shop yet, I may swing by there tomorrow on my way to work. Even if they want $100 a seat, that would put me into these seats for $800 (Canadian) But part of me wonders if I should just keep looking for a more neutrally colored set, if they are out there.

So I stopped off at the upholstery shop on my way into work today.
To do it right, the only way to change the color of the insert is to take it out and replace it, $350 per seat.
He said there are dyes out there that could be used, but they just end up drying out the material and causing it to crack. He said if the insert was vinyl it could be dyed, but not the cloth.
So I ask again... was the light blue the only color that the Saturn Quad bucket Recaros came in?
I'm bailing on the deal I was after, but, intend to keep my eyes open for something different.
