I don't want to ask a completely dumb question here (and the seats look great BTW); but...

all of the 4th-gen sedans that I've seen have floor mounted e-brakes with the three cup holder console, and yours has the coupe console (two-cup holder) with the e-brake. Did it come that way, because thats just odd.

Sorry, for the odd question but I noticed so I had to ask.

I think I just figured it out, must be a manual transmission thing *stupid moment*

Yes, they recline...not the nicest set of seats but they looked okay for the price.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by headliner? And I did all the work myself so it didn't cost too much. Here's the catch though...because I couldn't find any seats made especially for the 4th Gen Altima, I bought universal ones and built custom sliders by visiting a local welding shop after doing some measurements. So in the end I spent about $250 for the pair of seats, another 100 for custom steel plates to build sliders out of, and then like anotehr 20 for the door panels..it's just orange suede for a fabrics store.

They're universal seats..theres a big selection here. I ended up getting the lower end brands because Im cheap lol..plus I wanted that color scheme. Heres the site..theres some nice ones...http://www.shophyperformance.com/cgi-bi ... DAod0Rs4rA

Actually now that you mention it, the airbag light does go off since the wires for it are connected to the stock seats? Anyone know if thats gonna affect anything or is it just a seatbelt thing? I don't wanna die or anything lol

It will affect the fact that your side impact airbags that are located inside of your stock seats are no longer in the car.

The seats came with sliders but they had to be altered to actually fit into my car. I just went to a local welding shop and bought steel plates to compensate for the size difference.
