Those fit great!
I also bought a set of BMW M4 seats from F82. They are super comfortable and have buttons on the back of the seat to tilt the seat forward and move the seat forward/backward for rear passenger convenience. Right now I’m on the hunt to find a way to make all power options of the seat work. So far I was able to make the seat move forward/backward and up/down. I also figured out how to light up the M led logo (my upholsterer said he can make some badge to go there like a bowtie or ZL1 logo) devils in the details! The only issue I ran into is the center console from the 16 Camaro fits very tight with the seats. It’s very difficult to open the storage compartment. I’ll have to have the upholstery shave down the door of the compartment probably.
Enjoy the pics!

This is the color scheme I plan to go with when I get the leather redone.

Sidenote about the front seats. The local wrecking yard where I bought the rear seat, I have visited them at least 3 times already and I’m Russian and so are they so we have something in common. Anyway, I told them I was working on a 69 Camaro and I was going to put front seats from an M4 and they immediately asked me how I was going to make them work without the canbus. I told them I read that you can Hotwire them and the only functionality lost is heated seats. They told me they can order a little box that’s made in Russia that’s like a little Canbus and as long as I get the OEM switches for heated seats (and cars that have cooled) I will have all functionality of the seats. They said the box is like $100-$200 depending on what car/seats it’s for. So that’s something to consider and I’ll follow up with them if I can’t get full functionality of the seats myself.
great looking seats, they fit well
Awesome build!
I would really love to learn more about the side view mirrors. I have been on the hunt for something with those features for years.
The side mirrors are from 13-18 Lexus ES300-350 models. Here is a link:

Here is a pic up close on the Camaro, to mount it, I just had to grind the inside of the bracket very easy to do and pretty self explanatory once you get the mirrors. Let me know if anyone has any other questions or needs to know what each wire does. The mirrors have defrost, puddle lamp, turn signal, and power up/down left/right.

The rear seats are from an E92 Bmw. So far I only mounted the upper seat. I just simply welded on a piece of heavy angle iron to the wheel tub and welded a nut on the back. The seatbelt bottom is attached there as well. For the top, I used the BMW E92 seat brackets, they have a nice lever that mounts in the trunk to flip the seats down. The BMW brackets are spring loaded so when you pull the lever the seats in the car actually fold down. Another nice feature is that the center armrest comes down and there is a compartment there for 2 cup holder! LOL

I didn’t like the look of the E92 package tray because it looked really plain. So I got one from a 2 series BMW I believe it’s F22. There is a mount for 2 4” mids and 2 1” tweeters. I got it for $90. Way cheaper than shop LLC and looks basically same. Oh and I also plan to make the child restraint tabs functional too. I have a daughter who’s 4 so I’ll need a child seat for her to ride along.

Here you go Larry:
Side mirror
Pink- Positive turn signal
Black/red- ground turn signal
White- up/down
Red- left/right
Yellow- puddle light
Black- ground
Brown- defroster
Attachment 176012Here’s what the lever looks like that flips the seats down. Here is a link to the latches, try to see if they have the mounting hardware:

Those mirrors look huge!

Attachment 176039Hahaha, the mirrors actually fit the car really well in my opinion. Yes they are larger than the factory mirrors that you can’t see anything out of but these mirrors actually come even on Lexus smallest car the IS300/350. Here’s a pic farther away.
Fits like a glove! I’m not sure how wide the stock rear door panels are but I’m planning to have custom door panels anyway.

Small update. I really hate how the stock seatbelts mount to the rear roof section so I bought BMW 1 series convertible seatbelts. Here’s what I did. For the mechanism mount, I welded in a piece of 1/8” angle iron to the thick rocker. The other mounting point is in the rear door panel pretty self explanatory and the bottom mount I used the stock location of the Camaro seatbelt. I used the bar the bmw seatbelts came with so the seatbelt can slide for/aft to allow for easy entrance/exit to the rear seats.
