1990 Seats
I'm thinking about changing the seats in my 90. In lieu of buying used 94-96 seats used, does anyone have any suggestions for replacement. Don't need competition seats, just something nice and comfortable. Ease of installation would definitely be a plus. I'm a bigger guy so 90 side bolsters are very uncomfortable.

Re: 1990 Seats
Is this for looks or comfort? I added some extra foam to my seat and it really helped the comfort factor. It's likely the stock foam should be replaced, but this is working for now.

Re: 1990 Seats
Seats themselves r fine. Thigh bolsters in a 90 sit high. So bigger guys like me don't fit well between them.

Re: 1990 Seats
I may sell my seats out of my 94 they are black. I have since purchased red 91 seats to go in my zr1 (may redo them black) because im fairly slim and prefer the tight fit. I just havent picked them up yet

I remember the cross-country trips I took in my 95 LT1 car - how comfortable they were - the tank would need filling before my butt/legs needed to stretch! 2 hours in those 90 sport seats and the bolsters would have my legs going to sleep, not to mention the pain. Jason at Vette2Vette supplied me with a set of base 95 seats. They are the 'bomb', as my daughter would say! -=Jeff=- may chime in here. He too is a big boy, and he did extensive mods to "re-create" his seats to his liking (a cross between sport seats and standard seats - there is an old post of his w/ photos and detailed discussion). Now, we've done the same thing for Aimi's 91 ZR-1: the standard seats are very comfy! (One or the other will be a the MR5 and BG, come May. You're welcome to come and sit in them. And, too, the 94-5 sport seats don't give up anything either. Just a thought.

Re: 1990 Seats
I have black interior. If you decide to sell, let me know. Do you know if they bolt right in?

Re: 1990 Seats
Yes the 94-96 seats bolt in. Sport seats take a bit more work to get them to function. Like Paul said I prefer the 94-96 base style seats but wanted the taller sport bolsters and lumbar. So I took sport seat frame and foam and then base seat foam and made my current seats
