Those look pretty good in a Fbod. Did you sit in them? How bad are they to install? I have access to a welder but it would be a plus to knock this out in my garage. I do like some of the other Corbeau designs (A4, CR1, LG1) a bit better but I have no idea how they feel.

I never did get to sit in them but my understanding is they feel similar to the seats in a E46 3 Series. Corbeau makes vehicle specific adapters which, along with sliders, should make the entire operation bolt-in. That also applies to those A4s if you pick them up.

The bolt in slider option is real nice. I am going to test fit the A4s tomorrow but I have a feeling the Std model won't be big enough for my huskier build. I found a place 45 min from me that is a dealer where I can try all the different models out.
Anyone think the seats will look like ass in black with my interior?

If you did a black rear as well it would probably look good

Thinking I will hold off and find the seats I like first then get them wrapped in matching tan leather. There is a corbeau dealer about 45 min from me, supposedly with all the models. Prob my best bet to start there.

black is not the most sun friendly color to have in a rag top

I'm not sure if the sail panel trim from a T-Top car is compatible with a 'vert, but if you want to take them test out the look, then I can drop off the spare ebony? plastics that I have--2 rear seat plastic trim, and the 2 kick panels that run along the edge of the floor/door.

looking again at your pic, one thing to consider is your current seats have seat belt guides. Aftermarket seats may put the seat belts at a fairly uncomfortable angle.

The rear panels are vert specific but thanks for the offer.

I usually don't use the guides anyway. The vert has them lower than a coupe car and you have the option of using the guide on the headrest or not at all.

true dat. dot or not it is illegal to use them. I'd go on but we are straying off topic. Brian says no belt escutcheon is no problem, back to the seats.
