7th gen seats !, do they bolt right in ? Options

[Culpable04]

I just wanna know if the front and rear seats of a 7th Gen celi will bolt right in w/o mods. and if they need to be modified how complicated is to make them fit ?

[forkee]

no they dont. not complicated. just labor intensive

[Culpable04]

ok, now the back seat it's the same size as the 6th gen. ? so after the custom installation will look fine ?

The one question that comes to mind..... why? Why go through all of that work?

[Culpable04]

I have the chance of getting them for free from my cousin, he owns a shop and they are customizing a 7th gen, they have sparco front seats and are removing the back one so if they fit properly I just have to pay installation to my cousin.

they are black leather seats in good condition. I'm not crazy about them but they do look better than my old seats plus can't beat that price, but if the back one doesn't fit properly I won't do it.

umm, ok its really not that hard, just have to change the angle on the little feet to make em fit.

have to take the seats all part though, a decent amount of work so then when welding you dont light the fabric or foam on fire but just swivle the feet around and may add a little extention peace in there on the rear insides.

Its worth it because there very nice seats very comfortable and have a great style, I got em because I dont like full racing seats because I want my car to look as clean as it can be, and 7th gen seats look sick in there.

^ totally agree.
the 7th gen seats look stock while sport at the same time just what we need.

have someone here install the rear one ?
Can I see a pic of it ?

that what is stoping me from this, but I'm considering taking the front ones and recover my stock rear with black leather to match the fronts, I'm gonna try to get a quote from a local shop.

nice !
so you got the 7th gen seats and a 6th gen leather back seat, you are so lucky, there aren't too many celicas around here on the junk yard so far I've seen 3 and they are regular cloth seats so my option right now is the get my rear seat re-cover with leather I just have to find out how much is gonna cost.

I hope it's not too much

[creis]

if you strip them down to just the bases and give it to a shop to fit just the bases without install or anything it would not cost much (what I'm currently doing if i get time to drop off my car at the shop since I dont have a welder.) dont have a price quote but if its over 200 its too much for such a simple job.

get the seats off ebay or something, junkyards are almost inposible to find 7th gen seats yet allone good onces, same with the rear leather, or just buy it off somone on here for a decent price.

my seats were 240 ish shipped from the east coast and are in perfect condition, bought off ebay (i got cloth because I like em, leather is not really my style I guess, they went for 300 ish too.)
