    you can get them to fit mate but they do need som modifying, the rails arent the same as far as i kno, i think you have to put the vl rails on or something, im sure its been covered on here or try calaisturbo.com

    you have to take the seat off the vs rails and attach them to the vl rails a little bit of stuffn around but it's not hard to do even without instructions.
    back seats need abit more modification.

    The fun part is getting the seats out of the VL if they have never been removed before.

    still will have to swap the rails for front,
    anything after the vl series is wider so the rears wont just fit in perfect,

    hell yaeh.....6 stripped hex heads.....2.5 hours......alot of abuse....they finally come out... seat bolts are factory glued with that blue locktite and if they have never been removed you are going to have some fun...as far as fitting different seats use the vl rails and attach to new seats..you may have to make some brackets though as the location holes in the new seats may diifer from the vl seats.
    if i can work out how to do it i will post some picks of mine which i am currently modifying with some mazda bucket seats..gimme 10 mins

    doors arnt hard with the right tools ...alignment a bit tricky though...if both doors are hit chances are your pillar may be a bit out of shape which may cause dramas...good luck let us know how you go
