Stock or aftermarket seats?

I was wondering what kind of seats 3rd Gen owners were using in their rides. My 87 Formula seats are pretty worn and I haven't found any replacements for them other than the covers. Rebuild them or look for something non-Pontiac?
Does any one have pics of their aftermarket seats available?
Thank you all!

I know on a camaro, the newer seats of a 4th gen will take the place and look better. No drilling is required it uses the same holes. Go to hawksthirdgenparts.com

I've got 4th gen Trans Am seats in my IROC and I'm happy with them for the money. I've got Flo Fit seats in my GTA and they are bar none the best seats I've ever sat in.

I think you will find that many of us are using the 4th gen seats, I love my 99TA seats they are so comfortable and my 3rd gen seats werent even that bad looking. Search on craigslist.com and ebay.com as well as the classifieds, im sure something will come up at a good price.
