    OEM seats

    Does anyone here at DC know a good place to get OEM seats? I want the factory seats, not the racing style. I have googled and mostly all I can find is seat covers. I want the entire seat to bolt right into the factory holes. Anyone know of a place to look? Oh, and I have already called a lot of the local salvage yards as well. No luck. Thanks!!
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    Check with a body repair shop to see what they do when a seat needs to be replaced.

    The dealer for your brand of vehicle might be worth checking. Some OEM things seem very expensive, but others are fairly reasonable. Seats just might be one of the reasonable items.

    www.ebay.com is a great source for OEM parts of all types.

    Do your local salvage yards communicate through a database? Around here they can all see what the others have and can help you in your search

    Also, try local swap meets

    May be overkill, but I considered buying a vehicle from an insurance auction, then taking the parts I want (like the seats), selling the ones I don`t to offset the cost. Figured body shops may be good customers for doors, and other body parts. Haven`t done it yet, but considering it for a donor motor for my 92 Civic.
