Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone knows how many bolts are holding the front pass. seat down and if theres anything i should know before removing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

4 bolts 2 in front 2 in back then just pull it out it's pretty simple, why do you need it out?

 

Yep, 2 in the front and two in the rear which are covered by little plastic covers. Just pop them off and the bolts are right there.

As for things to know, there may be something plugged into the bottom of each seat so make sure you detach that before you try to rip the seat out. Even my '99 with manual cloth seats had the harness plugged into bottom of each seat, I'm assuming it's a "dummy" plug for power seats or something.

 

perfect, thanks alot. i thought the bolts were under the plastic but i didnt wanna just rip some plastic **** off without knowing. And for the reason im taking them out is im running the quarter tonight and ever pound counts right haha

 

Speaking of seats, the backside of my passenger seat has a big hole in it. Anyone know if just this piece can be replaced, or is it the whole seat?

 

Speaking of seats, can we directly swap in front seats from a 5th gen or I30 or something else that has "good" or better quality leather?

 

If you mean the middle area on the back of the seat (feels cardboard-y if you tap it), then yes it does come out. Reattaching it though can be a pain from what I've seen if you don't take it out carefully.

96-99 I30 are a direct swap, 5th gen takes some work, 5.5 gen even more.
