New 03 ES and a question about seats...

Hey, I just picked up an 03 ES, Laser Blue with everything and I love it.

I was wondering if there was a difference between the seats on the protege and the pro5, mainly the rear. I know the 5's rear seats flip up to lay flat, but will that cause a problem or is there any other issue I'm not seeing. A buddy of mine has a 03 5 with a leather interior and want's to put some sparcos in it. If anyone has tired or knows if this will work, let me know. thanks.

Hi Goochff21 and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!


the FRONT seats in the two cars are the same. as you mentioned...the rears are different.

Your friend wants to remove both rows of seats? I'd jump on the deal. Get more info from MackDadam, and go for it! I've been wanting to do this mod for a while. Hint hint, any P5ers?

Nice ES by the way, love the blue!

everytime i look at my car now, i just love that leather!! ill guide you thru the install, i put everything in door panels, seats etc. the backs are tricky only part is the bottom rear. its in two parts vs your one piece. the plug holes to keep them down dont fit so you have to push them in there, hard to explain without you knowing what im referring to, but id be glad to help

Thanks for all the info. Glad to see someone has tried it. MackDadam that looks awsome. Not sure if he is still doing the seat swap, but I might just have to try and convince him a bit more
