Curious about seat swap.
I am curious how difficult it is to swap sport buckets/ dual power seats into my 2000 FRC? I have the standard seats with just a power drivers seat. What would I need to replace other than the obvious seats and rails themselves? Have any of you done it and was it a major PITA?
Thanks.
Thanks.

first question. Do you want the look or the functionality?
If its just the look, you can convert your stock seats to look like sports seats by buying sports seat foam and sports seat skins. Of course you will not have the adjustable bolsters or the duel lumbars.Both seat frames are the same.
The other option is finding complete sports seats on the forsale forum.

I have a set of working sport seats that are light pewter. I'm located in Chicago. Passenger seat is in perfect shape, driver seat has slight bolster wear. Throw me an email, I can send you pics. Jason

I added working sport seats to my 97. I did have dual power seats to begin with. You may want to pull your pass seat and see if the power wire is under the carpet, it may be. I used my factory service manual to change a few of the wires going into the power seat module mounted on the bottom of the seat. It's been a while so I don't remember excatly what I did but if you have general mechanical skills you should be ok. It can be done.
