Depending on where you live, you should find a salvage yard. Try using row52.com to track down some nice seats. I scored some for my 95 for about 45 bucks from a 97.

Yea i was thinking about getting a whole new seat if that is what you are referencing. If i go that route, how hard is it to install a whole new seat?

It is pretty easy. 4 bolts fasten the seat to the car. You might need a breaker bar to break the bolts loose. Should be one connector to disconnect.

.These seats are different model years judging by the profile of driver seatbacks...
The new seats appear to be (1997?) 1998-2000 while the originals 1995-1997.
How did you work out the electronics?

Hey Yodaone,

Sorry for the response delay. You have a good eye , the seats are out of a 97 LS and my car is a 95. The previous owner didnt care for the seats so they were pretty thrashed when i purchased it. The 97 donor car had heated seats option and i believe air bags as well(not sure on the air bagged seats). I had just left the seat heater wiring disconnected and the rest of the electronics like lumbar support and seat motors were plug and play. Im not sure if the 95 came with the option for heated seats. The seats were in great condtion from the donor so i jumped on the opportunity to buy them...i am currently on the hunt for rear seat as well. I found an awesome clean donor car but I waited for a rare 50% off day at the salvage yard and when i returned the car was totally vandalized.
