Most W-body seats are interchangeable, so I wouldn't be surprised. You'd probably need to repin a harness and some stuff in the rear seats.

Anything can fit with some modification work.

Matt, did you get my pictures on your LQ4 MAF? I'll just keep it if you want me too :)
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

Looks good. I agree that the 97-03 seats are like a park bench. I say my seats in my 08 G6 are comfy. Once i find the right position. My 00 Silverado had nice comfy seats. Would love to have those again
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

Well past couple days, been getting a grinding noise while driving and a real loud grinding/clunking noise from the front Driver's side wheel area. Finally jacked the car up today, took the wheels off put the car in drive and listened with a pry bar on each spindle. Drivers side was EXTREMELY loud and the passenger side was nice and smooth. YAY for a bad wheel bearing. At 180,000 miles, I consider myself blessed that this is the first new wheel bearing this car has seen so far.

Bought a MOOG wheel bearing off RockAuto - $96 shipped. Yikes. But, gotta pay for quality parts. Hopefully i'll have this fixed before the big meet in a few weeks.

Should of just purchased the bearing from advance Dan! With a coupon code would of came out to the same plus or minus a few bux.

Also locate a set of the other style headrest.. The sporty ones that have the hole in the middle.

If you want to make the dual heated seat bezel....I'll have to look in my stash, but at one time I did have an extra bezel and switch/harness.

I do like those seats better than stock tho. I love the seats in the Imp. Such an improvement over the GP.

Im running the 04+ leather seats in my 01 gt, i love them. Better than the original and the 06 cloth seats i had in the car.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

GXP seats FTW. Dual heated switch bezel is cake work, let me know if you need pics of what I did.

Truthfully, I kinda like the head rests without the holes in them.

Also, I could have bought the Wheel Bearing from AutoZone / Advance. Would have been about the exact same price. But I would rather spend the same and wait a few days to have a MOOG Wheel Bearing compared to a Duralast.

I actually will be creating a Dual Heated Seat switch. Let me know if you have an extra switch/bezel and ill take it off your hands!
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

Advance sells Moog bearings Dan, that's why I'm suggesting them. I'll never suggest a cheap bearing unless it's to sell a vehicle.

According to Advances Website, a MOOG wheel bearing ranges from $120 - $150, roughly. I still saved about $30. IN YOUR FACE MATT!

Definitely a worth while swap if you can get your hands on a set.

Many benefits from these:
- Way more cabin interior with full fold down rear seats and passenger seat
- Looks better, In my opinion
- Way more comfortable and your back doesn't give out after 45 minutes of driving
- Dual heated seats
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

Only downside is the passenger sits a little higher than stock. Someday I plan on converting the passenger side to electronic so it'll move down like the driver side.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Now With 04+ Seats.

Congrats on the seats, about Fvckin time. I loved mine, perfect for long haul drives.

I followed the write on the forum for wiring the heat, 04+ seats heat waaayyyy better.
