    Just got 'em out of a later model Saturn SC2(flush mount headlamps), I had no idea the seats were made by Corbeau.. Anyways I got the first one in, you'll have to use a long bolt as the mounting hole will locate it inside the frame rail... pics to come soon.

    Oh I'm still debating as to what to put behind the seats to cover up the big ol hole that the bench used to... I'm really leaning towards some sheet metal... Maybe with some airbrushing on it of my car bustin a wheelstand (like that will ever happen in real life lol) But we'll see...

    Someone here used the rear seat from a Probe. While not true buckets, the center hump is so tall it's practically the same thing. Like a double bucket or something and best of all, no gaps to fill.

    Really that area is so tight, even if you use small buckets, I can't see you needing much of anything to cover the small opening that is left.

    The gap between the seats is so darn small.. I wouldn't really be able to fit anything there.. It's a shame cuz I wanted to fit some cupholders.. Sorry I don't have pics yet, soon though. I haven't been able to get on a comp... I've been logging on here with my Dash.

    [​IMG] You'll need to use long bolts, as the tracks closest to the door on both seats will be over the frame rail.
