I agree that it is most definitely worth doing, but I have to disagree on the model. I prefer the EF ones to the ELs.. but that is just my thoughts

I used to own an EL Gli and i HATED the standard seats!
XR ones are much nicer but Fairmont seats are nicest i think. Depends on what style yu want your interior i guess??

If your wanting to go XR seats, definatly go EL XR, a mate of mine has an EF XR, and in IMHO the EL XR seats are much nicer. Look heaps better.
And after owning an EF GLi, the EL XR seats are so much more comfortable.

I went from an EL gli then to my EL XR and although it was a year in between I cant recall any/if much difference! If your looking for an upgrade id consider Fairmont the goer!
