Seat upgrade 2000+

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Yep, full power. I think it will require a minor splice?

Im pretty sure first gen auroras are different, I haven't looked in a second gen in a long time. I know they got the nicer looking leather plus they feel cushier to me

Alright. Sounds good to me! When are you coming down this way?

I know the second gen Aurora seats are the same as the 2003+ Bonneville seats. Towards which I have a preference as opposed to the 00-02 seats.

I'll be in the neighborhood likely shortly after New Year's.

A search left me with my answer. Ed, if it's not heated don't bother with the effort of bringing it down. I can't go pulling a 97-03 GP move and have one heated seat. Kristen would not approve. She's always using the heated seat.

All this talk about leather seats and Caddy options, and I'm just over here sitting on my couch...I mean Buick.
:twisted:


I love my comfy grandma seats

Don't get me wrong, the seats in Penny are SUPER comfy. Some of the best buckets I've sat it. But the passenger one is broken and I'm thinking about sprucing things up a bit. All while making it more roomy for the back seat people. Over break I'll run by an upholstery shop and see what kind of damage they want to do to me.

Has anyone moved their drivers seat back for additional legroom? I'd love to get a couple inches of extra legroom as the drivers compartment is fairly cramped, but haven't gotten around to pulling the seats out to see how/if that could happen.
