Default Leather chair for 97, where to find? Junkyard?

I am thinking about getting a leather chair for the 97 tiburon. Is there any way to swap out a cloth for a leather drivers seat? Or both? Where would I find one?

Just a matter of four bolts and a couple of wires.

You could find them in a junkyard or post a "Want to Buy" thread in the For Sale forum. Being that it's an OEM item, expect to pay a pretty penny. And shipping is gonna be a biatch.

Default Re: Leather chair for 97, where to find? Junkyard?

so, say i went to any junkyard, dropped 2 bills on the counter(not necessarily in the fashion), i could probably walk out w/ a set of seats? front AND rear??
would be nice! nice for my back!

hey, i just remembered anotheer question...
about the 1st/2nd gen tibs seats.
the seats w/ adjustable lumbar, if the lumbar handle ISN'T used for its purpose, would the lumbar setting be the SAME as the tib seats W/OUT adjustable lumbar??
or would it virtually eliminate this nightmare lumbar for anyone over 2 feet tall? or non-korean? my reason for asking is i have non-adj. shIt-tib seats that have the lumbar DRilling into my back.. actually, its like i'm leaning against a speedbump, say, thats pushing in my lower back, and the upper-part of the seats are far back..
in a way i feel like i'm doing that "bridge" thing girls do when theyre young..or in my bed!: (not young girls)

The wire is for your gauges to know if you're buckled up or not. I have a full set of leather up for 400 if anyone wants em. Front and back, no rips no stains, just nice comfy leather seats all clean and ready to sit down and enjoy.

Nice... I am going to be needing a leather rear seat.. once I get some good seats in the front (in black leather) the rear gray fabric will be a little out of place.
