Half Leather Seats?...

Post by Shades »

I've never seen seats like this?... it's from a 1993, but can't tell if it's a SE or not?

I'm going with a NO, but just wanted your opinions.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I've seen euro variations that look like that... I'm leaning towards that was a custom job... but that's just speculation... I still hate the jungle print even if it is wrapped in leather haha :freak:

I'm guessing this ain't a SE... doesn't look like a leather wrapped steering wheel.

Reason why I'm asking is this car is for sale, but it's about and 1 1/2 hour drive away... and I don't wanna make a trip out to look at a POS that ain't potentially an SE.

That's not an SE for sure, the door panel inserts on an SE are black, and yea the seats are all leather.

Interesting..
The leather part looks factory. Aftermarket leather seats don't have the same stitching. My theory is that someone took the OEM leather seats, and replaced the inner panels that Mooneggs hates.
I'm quite sure it's not an SE, and wouldn't buy an auto, unless i was going to do a MTX swap.

Your best bet is to see the sticker inside the passenger door jam and at the bottom right corner it'll say 25 ANNIV

Another tell from that pic is it's an auto, and the shift knob isn't leather. And mad cow is right, the whole interior is black.

There was a guy on these forums that bought an auto SE, so yea they do exist, but i bet they're even more rare.

Ah good stuff!

One more question... heated seats, is the heated part just on the mid to lower back part of the seat? Or is it suppose to warm your arse too?

Woah woah if it's got heated seats then it's gotta be an SE, unless the guy put those in from an SE....
