Can GEN 3 seats fit in Gen 2, front and back? Are there any other seating options for Gen 2? I want to get some leather seats in my 93'. Thanks.

Yes, they'll fit! What color are you looking for? I have a SUPER set of two-tone mocha gen 3 seats (front and back) that are in great shape that I am absolutely DYING to get out of my living room!!! They came out of a totalled '98 SE (SLO) and have the rare "Limited" stitched in the backs. Let me know if you're interested, I really really really want to get rid of them. :thumb:

As Tara said, yes they will fit in the front, but NO they WILL NOT fit in the rear without serious modification.....

found this thread through the search. farley556, did you get gen 3 seats for your gen 2?

I was wondering if anyone ever put gen 3 sho seats into a gen 2 sho..or if its possible..i like the idea..but they would probably look really out of place

You have just missed pics of a swap is my guess. There is some modification involved to get the rears to fit correctly, but IIRC it is only if you want the seat to fold down and be functional. The leather is a little lighter but the seats themselves fit in just fine. I have only caught pics of such a conversion on SHOtimes mailing list and here on the forum. RI-SHO might have some pics of the green gen 2 with gen 3 seats. Why don't you ask him?

I would also be interested in seeing pictures of this seat conversion. There are a couple of late model Taurus SE's and SES' in local junkyards that would make great candidates for the swap. Would the electrical connectors for lumbar, etc. plug right in?

Just as an FYI, I really miss the side bolsters that my Gen 2's seats had. They were the best seats I ever had in a car!

I want to do that in my 93 with mocha interior. Will those color seats match the interior of mine?

The 3rd gen mocha is a little lighter than the 1st and 2nd gens, if only because it is newer. The leather is different as well. Someone out there has to have some more pics.
