Default Installed some Corbeau LG1s Today

Install is definitely not for the faint of heart. Some trimming required

Enjoy!





I didn't pay for heated seats but got them. Quality was quite impressive.

You have to put the passenger seat in the driver's side, and vice versa which i think is stated in a couple threads. Other than that just some trimming of the trim pieces (see pic below). I had no intentions of keeping the stock seatbelts so if you want those you would need to talk to the guys at TPS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the stock seat belts have to be removed and you have to cut the trim piece. Also, how much leg room do you have since it's a wider seat?

Leg room us same as stock from what I can tell. Seat goes all the way to the audio stuff I have mounted behind the seats. I am 5' 11"with 42"waist and fit perfect. My buddy who is 6'1"and skinny and also fits with no issue.

I would assume the stock belts have to go I want sure if you guys had a method.

Yeah there is no way to keep the stock seat belts with the LG1s in a C5 unfortunately and in a C6 it requires some modifications to the bracket

Those are nice! Is that a Brey Krause bar?

Edit: Saw your other thread.

I've heard with some of these wider seats that you can install a C6 seat belt system in the C5 to make them work.

Anyone have experience with this?

Ya that was me. I did that to squeeze my viper seats in. Here are some pics of the seatbelts installed.
