100% Fully RECLINING seat MOD!

I made a few mods and got my seats to recline further back today. I'm going to do the driver side this weekend and if anyone is interested I will post pics and a how-to

Color me interested.

I didn't realize when I bought my Camaro that the seats did not recline farther than they do. And cat-napping in your car is tolerated on very slow nights at work when we are on standby waiting for things to happen.

Interested in the seat recline mod as well as how you did your emblems on the seat? Vinyl overlays? I want bright line green and no one has them. I'd like to do the SS on the steering wheel too. I may plastidip them.

The problem with this world is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be penalties for stupidity,
but why don't we just take the warning labels off everything and let the problem solve itself.

Does the powered aspect of the seats still work after the mod? In other words, will I be able to use the little power seat back recline lever to lean the seat all the way back and then back up again?

Paint your SS logo exactly as you would a model car. Use the Testor paint and fine paintbrush. Tape everything up and your ready to start.

Not sure why another thread is needed?? The other one shows what PINS needs to be drilled out. Unfortunately to do this properly, the seat needs to come out, so BOTH pins on each seat can be drilled out.

...why does this mod seem not worth it and far from safe to do?
