C4 Bumper for Sofa?

Anybody ever see this??

I have a 1989 Rear Bumper. Most of the lights (missing the 4 tail lights)

I also have a set of 94-96 sport seats, I want to build a 2 seat sofa using the rear bumper and the sport seats.. the bumper is white and I am not planning on repainting it.. the seats are black

Does anyone have pictures or ideas on how to set it up?

THANKS

I assume this is going I'n the man cave. My wife would never let it I'n the house no matter how cool it looked.

going in Basement

I think wrapping the bumper around the seats is the way I want to go.. If I do it right, I could get Power tracks and then hook up the lumbar..

Then use a 12v Power supply to run everything..

I would probably try to make a center console. Then have a gas cap cover in open to set drinks in and a remote. Lol

yeah I had one I was gonna do with that with for my shop but I don't want to give up the space to have a couch. Quaker Steak & Lube has 4 or 5 of them. Would be super easy to make.
