Question about getting leather seats / hooking them up

I can get leather seats for a fairly good price, minus the shipping grr... lol but anyways my car is a '97 GXE with driver side power seat, manual seat on the passenger side. I do not have heated seats. But the seats I'm looking at they are from a '98 Max. SE with dual power, dual heated, and dual side airbags!! So my question is can I take advantage of the dual power, heated, and airbags??? If so that would be great! Also how hard and or easy are the front 2 to install, I'm not worried about the back two those are cake, but the front I'm not to sure about. Any advice/tips/suggestions?

Ok installing them isn't hard at all just 4 bolts per seat and wiring. I have an 95 SE and I bought 99 black leather with the same options as what u listed(Heated seats,Air bags, and Dual power.) Hooking up the power is relatively easy scince that you have power in your driver seat. See what I did was I tapped into the wiring of the driver side and ran 2 wires(positive,negative) underneath the middle console. Just unscrew the two screws on the middle console to run the wire underneath so it's neat or you can do it through the carpet. Then you just tap into the wiring in the passenger side direct. Scince it's not a constant power you should be fine mine has been like this over a year. Now for the heated seats I'm finally going to attempt to hook them up before winter starts. It really shouldn't be difficult either I run power from a main power source to switches then to the seats with a fuse relay. Now as for the Airbags I really don't think it's worth hooking up so just leave them alone. my suggestions. But if you are getting it for a good price I say jump on it i paid 600 for mine BRAND NEW no cracks, that's a great price for it brand new back when i bought it.

Bubba, all this time i thought you bought your car with leather.

I remember the first time i remember seeing you car parked down my block, i drove passed it and the leather is what really caught my attention.

maybe its differnt for my 99 but under my passenger seat the plug is there for the power seat/heated option its just ziptied to the seat. If i got a power pss. seat it would just plug in. -Ryan
