Default 2010 SS Camaro Leather Seats in 69 Camaro?

I have a complete set front/rear that I would like to install in my 69 Pro-Touring Camaro. My question is has anyone installed the late model seats in a 69? I installed new carpet recently and just placed the front seats in the car....they seem a little high but I have to cut some of the tabs off to get the track flat on the floor. If anyone has pictures of an install to include a side view it would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I asked if anyone had done this on Pro Touring site several months ago. Crickets still chirping.

I believe that a few people have tried the fifth gen seats in their car
I was even considering them when I did my 5th gen console, but the seats would sit way too high for me
The others had the same results when they tried too

I've got a set of Recaros out of a 2014 Z28 that I am going to try. They are such comfortable seats that I have to try to get them to fit. Might have to modify the seat pans to get them a little lower. I will post up some pics once I get them fitted.

Luckily I had to push the 6L90E high into the tunnel so the shifter is located well for high mounted seats and I am only 5'9"...

I mocked these up and it looks like they are going to fit. There is 3.5 inches clearance to the headliner. I modified the floor pans to accept the factory mounts. No power applied in these pics so the front is high. These seats are very comfortable.

This is a personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I am sure they are comfortable and functional but height and profile wise I feel they are a bit awkward looking. They kind of look like two people sitting in the car with those headrests.

I'm following the same path on my 68 camaro, it seems to be getting more popular. I haven't begun installing them yet but here are some pics Ive found across the net.




There's also a very detailed build thread over on pro-touring.com worth following if you plan on doing this
