Any other vehicle seats fit IONs?

Tired of the easily stained, uncomfortable front seats. Other than the too expensive Redline seats do seats from other cars fit the ION like maybe the Chevy Cobalt?

They tear easily, too. (Don't carry sharpie markers in your left rear pocket if you drive a Saturn Ion, it is pure carnage on the seat cover stitching)

Cobalt seats should fit, The unibodies are the same so the floor pan stamping should be identical. I'm not sure if you'd improve anything.

Summit racing carries a private label selection of seats that look pretty comfy. They carry Procar brand seats as well. Both have a load of mounting kits available and prices aren't any worse then what salvage yards charge for OEM seats.

Generically speaking, EVERYTHING fits if you have the motivation. With some steel flat bar stock and square tube, you can easily build whatever-to-ion adapters. If you have a welder, even a small hobby one, it's helpful, but self tapping screws can do the job assembling your seat adapters as well.

I don't find my seats to be uncomfortable, so I just protect the driver's seat with a cover. Mine is the type used by technicians to keep the crud they get on them under your car from getting IN your car when it's being driven out of the shop. It's black and red with a classy Snap-On tools logo. I get compliments on it all the time. And hey, it beats imitation wool or Navajo blanket looking seat covers from K-mart

you will get better answer from the engineer of your car.

I don't know any GM engineers. Do you?
