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.

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...

Re: Seat options?
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.

Re: Seat options?
That could be useful. It could help determine how much modification would need to happen for them to work.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Seat options?
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.
