With the outrageous prices for original middle seats I thought this might be a good option. they look like they are very accurate, has anyone looked at or bought one from vwbones123?

| The fact that with just money you can actually buy that is amazing to me. It sure looks real exact to my eyes. |

If you're not concerned with having an original, check out the bay window middle I'm selling in the classifieds. $100 ?

It does look to be a nice reproduction, but if it's not og, it's not og & a $100 bay middle seat will work just the same...plus the additional $100 to put a 'correct' armrest on/move a leg out & you're set for around $200, which in all honesty is about what these seats are worth...

And it's only 1,680 miles from Golden Colorado to Baltimore MD. At 30 MPG, that's 56 gallons of fuel here...112 round trip. or roughly another $400. While you're here, I'll give you a free night's stay in my 1796 house, take you to see the world champion Ravens (who beat Denver so sweetly last year to get into the Super Bowl) and buy you the best crabcake you've ever had.

Why would there be one on you in the first place?

Maybe he forgot the mounting hardware, hit the brakes, and the seat landed on him  |

That's why a walk thru is sooooo much less desirable (and deadly).

Ken, as much as I appreciate your generous offer, as long as I'm driving half way across the country, I think I'll head for the part where I won't need long underwear and a snow shovel!  |
