Seat upgrade options?

Looking to redo the passenger and driver seats. Was wondering if any of you have done a seat upgrade with seats from a newer maxima or other. Thanks

Your second sentence made just as much sense.

Words, they matter.

There are several threads with upgrades from Z's and such. I have a set of fronts from a 7th gen but I have yet to install them. I wouldn't have bought them if I thought it would be a nightmare. I don't have much experience, the only seat upgrade I have ever done was when I was 17 when I built my own brackets and installed Mitsu Eclipse seats back in 1999 into a 1970 Chevy C10 truck I was tricking out. Fun project and they were awesome. Looking forward to seeing your project if you beat me to it.

yea, most times I read before I hit the submit button. But I didn’t proofread. However the general idea was there.

I was thinking about seats from a newer maxima or an Infiniti. I’ll be checking eBay and the local junkyard. Thanks.0 I appreciate the feedback.

Revised your thread title to something that actually has meaning. Simply stating "seats" doesn't tell the reader jack **** about whether you have a question or a comment.
