Default Subaru WRX seats in an XJ? Why not

cause they are soooo much better and supportive than stockers...also new and unstained with foreign liquids i dare not to discuss... black matching carpet and floor mats to follow... took me about 7 hours of trial and error...

I already have an XJ though

Maybe if your XJ was a C6 ZO6 Corvette we would talk....but I plan on just buying one of those next and keeping both Jeep and STi.

no pics of the build, but i can cram in there and snap some. Used some heavy steel for strenght and grade 10 bolts....I basically removed the stock Jeep brackets from the seats, bolted them back to the Jeep, and placed the WRX seats on top. then I picked the best mounting points and worked from there.... They are like day and night when compared to the bolster support of the stock Jeep seats..and they are supper unique, wich i love...
