Default Just an idea...

Well, I know racing seats don't come powered, but I'm addicted to my powered seats. So... I had the idea to take the stock seats off the powered bases, and mount racing seats on top of them.

Would it work?

Anything is possible. The issue might be that the base of the non powered seat may be thicker than the powered on. Some measuring first would give good indications. Most likely have to design some brackets.

I'm sure it's possible with some modifications, especially if you know somone or shop that's an expert on this matter. Good Luck!!!

It is possible. Pull out you current seats, then install a CB bracket mounting kit which you then attach the aftermarket to and its a powered seat. Powered by a Concrete Block that is. I had to say that because a friend of mine seriously rides on a concrete block in his car and this seemed a good time to mention it.

It is doable, but methinks you're looking at some modding to get it done correctly.

You can buy power seats from some racing seat companies.
