Corbeau LG1 Leather seats

In and installed, I think they go great with the stock interior. was pretty straight forward for the install, also lost 50 pounds over the stock seats. (drivers was 60 lbs, pass 48 lbs, new seats were both 58 installed.) Feel great installed, you sit two inches lower with these than the stock seats. the seats are firm but very comfortable.





and a pic of the car:

Kind of Planet of the Apes to me but hopefully the wrinkles even out.

How did you handle with the airbag in the seat?

Really like the forged wheels you have. Especially that concave look on the rear! WOW

The seats look like the are super high quality. Did you have a chance to check out the cloth thats black/grey? Any specific reason you picked the leather?

I dropped it just one inch, like it that way.

yes the fogs are behind the grill. it's a grill/kit sold by SDmustangs.

leather is unwrinkling as it sits out in the sun. they come packaged squished together in plastic wrap. needed a little time to breath.

yes old seat was an electric seat, don't care that this one is manual.

working on the light, got a resistor pack for 2.2 ohms to get rid of the light.

yes, old seats had airbags in them, new ones don't no worries here.

hate cloth seats. also loving the forgestars!

How comfortable are the stock seatbelts with these? Any issues seatbelt wise?

How are they for adjusting? Forward and back I assume is there, but what about recline and are they height adjustable?

Did you have to use the aftermarket seat mounts? Or do they bolt up to the stock mounts?

Have you driven a long trip with them yet?

I am seriously considering these as my next mod. The stock seats are comfy as hell, but lateral support sucks.

Oh yeah, link to where you got them?

Not a fan of those seats at all. The Forgestars look great though. What sizes are they?

Mr. Anderson,

Have you given any thought to selling your old seats?

Frank, for me they are great, I am 5'11" & 170 pounds, the seat holds you great, it's firm but not uncomfortable as the seat contours in the right spots, don't know how they would do with 12 hours in the seat, but I can feel they would do a 6 hour trip just fine, if are taller than 6' I would not recommend these seats as teh seat back is not high enough. these seats fully recline. you have to buy the corbeau seat mounts but they are cheap. and they mount up to the stock seat mount locations. I bought the seats at TREperformance I called em and talked to em to get about 100 off the list price.

blackmamba rims are 19's x 9" up front and x 11" in the rear.

redeye, I would consider selling but I wont ship, the cost of shipping stock seats usually cost more than the seats are worth. are you local to the oklahoma city area?

No I'm not local, but would definitely consider driving to pick them up if the price is right. Could you please post some pics of the seats?

$300 for the seats, I'll post up pics later. the stock seat are in excellent condition. I treated the leather weekly. and the car has 6,500 miles on it. you will have to put your own sensor, module and wiring harness back in the seat for the passenger side and the harness for the drivers seat as I used those for the corbeau seats. where would you be coming from?

Price is right as far as I'm concerned if that's the total for both seats as I would be driving from New Mexico to pick them up. The wife wants a look at the seats (pics) however as the final result will be a combo interior...leather front and cloth rear and she's just not 100% sure that's gonna get it. Gotta keep her happy you know : ) I'll let you know for sure as soon as you post the pics. Thanks!

Here are the pics of the seats, and the plastic side pieces, the seat recliner handle, and the screw that mounts the cover.
