Bench seat to Bucket Seat
Don't know if this should be filed under "Brainstorming" but here goes anyways...
I have a 2002 SE with the BENCH seat configuration. (shifter on the column, arm rest that folds up for additional seating, etc). I am interested in what it would take to "convert" it to bucket seat configuration. I know I would need two bucket seats, the center console, and all the associated parts for it, but the one area I am concerned with is the shifter. I was thinking of doing one of two things:
1st, relocating the actual shifting mechanism to the new cetner console, or
2: leave the shifting mechanism on the column and make use of the space where the shifter would normally go in the center console for something audio/video (or other) related.
So I guess what I need to figure out is wether any of this will be possible and associated costs. I guess I am going to need part numbers for the seats, and center console, and seperately if possible the shifting mechanism.
Do you guys think this is worth it, or just a crazy waste of money?
Thanks!

To tell you the truth, you would be wasting a lot of money unless you could salvage all the parts real cheap and do all the work yourself.
I think you need to trade up to an SSEi to be truly happy.

awhile ago I saw a full leather set for sale for a 2000+ bonneville, bucket style on ebay for $600 for the whole package, thats when I said to myself "hey, why not?"

well, with the bench setup there is very little room for a custom console of any kind. If you need a pic to see what we are working with lemme know and I will snap one later today.
