If you have the seats, just try it. Its certainly not a bolt on mod.

redsc you posted in my thread. the seat track doesn't swap over so you have to make a custom bracket for the rear mount. you don't really have to make one for the front, i'm just going to extent the mounting holes on the front, so i'm hoping to knock that out this weekend. and don't worry i will be taking pics.

Im a noob when it comes to attaching seats, so bear with my questions..

Is it possible to simply bolt the Seat directly to the frame of the car? (I know this would limit ur seat adjustability) but is that possible?

it's always best and easier (unless your making a racecar) to use the original bolt holes on the car. whenever a seat track doesn't line up all you have to do is make an adapter for it..nothing a few trips to home depot or loew's can't handle. YupImJOee, as for the electrical, what a friend and i did was cut the connector off of my gs seat and the is seat, splice the gs connector to the is seat and whala power is done.

I put IS300 seats in my GS. Its not that hard if you have a welder. I used the rear mounts from the GS and adapted them to the IS seat frame by welding spacers to get the height right on the outer seat mount and adapted the inner by adding some more steel spacers. You also have to swap seat belts in the seats with the GS's. Wiring needs attention too.

Mine is also grey. Doesn't look bad cause the IS seats have grey piping on them. I'll try to get pics when I can.

Are the is300 seats heated? Do the grey ones have suede in the center?

Seats are heated but I didn't wire them up. Winter isn't here for a couple months
My seats are black with suede centers and grey piping only.
