Default rear seats

I dont know if this is the right place to post this but i have the tan interior. Every time im in it the tan drives me crazy. I was wondering ,since i cant seem to find very many monte's in junkyard,What other year/brand/rear seats will fit in 98 either plug right in or with minor minor customization. Btw, i really appreciate and have found this site very helpful.

Welcome! I also have a 98 Monte. My interior was already black (or charcoal, or whatever you want to call it) but I was bored with the stock rears. Here's what I did:

The seats came out of an early 90s Oldsmobile Cutless convertible. Any rear seat from an early 90s W-body will fit our back seats. IIRC, 95-01 Luminas have a slightly larger rear seat.

Thank you zipper. Those seats look amazing! Props to ya. Im assuming that the seats cant fold down? If so, cool if not can i mod them?What other interior mods can be done to the 5th gens as far as plug n plays? Steering wheel,door panels, dash, center console, etc.....

Yeah, no problem. The rear buckets do not fold down and would need to be significantly modified in order to do so. As far as other interior options go, I've seen people swap center consoles with and early to mid 90s Oldsmobile (or any other 1st gen W-body might work). Many people have painted interior items (myself included).

And my steering wheel:

That came off of an 89ish Cavalier. Almost a direct bolt-on.
