I am putting Audi TT bucket seats in my 71 they are leather and manual adjustment, did not want power seats. No where close to installing them yet but I like the way they look.

I saw a set of newer model GTO seats on ebay for 600$ but i looked around on here and saw the procar seats and those are the ones im going to go with, those are the exact style i was looking for.

I got the pair of mine from a salvage yard in Indiana for $350 plus the ride on truck freight (I think it was somewhere around $100). They are darn near perfect, the passenger seat doesn't even look like anyone sat in it and they are very comfortable, anything would be compared to the bench seat that was in there. The procar seats are nice, I looked at those too but liked the look of the Audi TT seat better.

lol ya those leather bench seats dont keep you in one spot when going around a corner or a simple turn unless your seatbelt is strapped to your body, and where i live i dont know where any slavage yards are or i would go look there. But thanks for sharing i really appreciate it.

I used manual seats from a Cobalt SS. Black leather with SS embroidered on the head rests.

Have an 06 STS, same deal. Would think hook up is just a 12V hot wire. Only issue is the backs don't tilt forward if need back seat access.

Go to www.car-part.com (http://www.car-part.com) and select in the menu 2002 Audi TT seat, front
pick your state or region and it will give you a list of salvage yard that have one and usually a price, name, location and phone number. I use that site all the time, I fix wrecked vehicles and usually I can find parts in the same color and then don't have to paint it. Anyway check it out. Your info says you live in Texas don't where at in Texas but I just did a search on that site and found 5 or so places that have a black divers front and they probably have the other one too. Also look on Ebay from time to time and you could find some resonably priced. The yards that sell on Ebay usually have plenty of pics so you know what you are getting.

The newer model GTO seats are a good fit and very comfortable. I had the headrest removed and recovered the GTO section to say SS ....I have a bad back and love these seats ! .... power too ! :thumbsup:
