Seat options?

So, has anyone ever tried to put a 7th gen Celica seat into a E7X? If so, how hard was it? I like the seats that the car came with and I am able to find a few near me for around 40 each, so thinking of trying this.

try.....

I paid a lot($500) for a set of Recaros... If you like the seat, it feels good to you, AND it is only $40... :mrgreen:

I am considering it :) Just hoping others have tried them to know what I am in for. I imagine almost any seat can be made to work......just takes some work.

You know my roommate has a 7th gen Celica. If you need measurements, I could step out there with a measuring tape and snag a few.

That could be useful. It could help determine how much modification would need to happen for them to work.

Thanks.

Sure, I'll try and get them this weekend.

Okay, here's what I got, everything is approximate of course.
------------TE72--7th Gen Celica
Back Width---19------19.5
Seat Width---20------19
Total Height--26------38*
Total Length--25------27

*The Celica has integrated head rests, whereas the E7 Corolla does not. This is why the Corolla number is so much lower than the Celica number.

I have more specific numbers like back thickness and height from rails and stuff on the Celica if you need it. By the look of it though, they'll fit. Honestly I expected them to be too wide, but I guess not.
