Picked up a pair of Bucket Seats from a '95 Hyundai on E-Bay for a $1.00 a few weeks ago. Finally got some time to swap them in this weekend and wow, what a difference. My '85 rides like a new truck now, well, like a old truck with new seats anyway. Here's some pics:

In with the new:

The colors even matched. Can't beat it for $1.00 seats and a few dollars worth of hardware.

you said "quick and easy" so did the mounting holes line up or did you have to make brackets? if the holes lined up what year and model hyundai were they out of?

No, the holes did not line up. I drilled 2 holes (per side) in the rib that the original seats bolted to and 2 holes in the back. I had to put a 1/2 inch spacer in the back to level the seats out.

The rear holes lined up, but I couldn't use them because it would have caused the front inbound seat holes to be up on the floorboard hump. Moving the seat 1" outward fixed that, but required me to drill new holes.
