gotcha. this just be me working out a design with a trimmer, and gettin a seat and allowing others to benefit from my time but going to where i had it done and saying do that for me too please(and thusly allow these fine gentlement to add input prior to my seat design being finalised)

reason for the thread was to see if anyone would even bother, coz then i can tell the trimmer if theres more coming and maybe save myself some coin.

Good Work Jamie :) I agree mate, the senator seats are very fat and wouldn't go to well in a 90s interior. I think you have the right idea. Those gt seats do look great, not overdone like the gt-p seats. If they we could get them similar with a bit more side and bottom bolster to hug ya some more they would be ideal i think. And as for the headrest i'm happy to keep the xr ones :D

boom boom ^

i was told on the weekend that the rails are the same width from EF onward or something.. so it may be easy to adapt GT seats.. but that may be more pricey than custom ones.. plus i was hoping to retain all the EF/EL lumbar/recline knobs

I'd be happy with GT or GT-P seats. Good idea Clampy.

Whats the difference between the standard and the 'P'?

gonna visit a trimmer joint tomoz.. lookin 5-700 burks depending on material ie leather or not. but we see about that, since the back will likely not need to be touched if you keepin original look.

What do you mean the back not being touched?
Are you referring to the shape?

Oh your talking about the rear seats not the back of the front seats. Never mind I read your post wrong I think.
