Durango Boy (I think) and I are using Celica seats, tight fit, but they look cool.

I installed my seat with no mods accept making 2 pieces of steel maybe 2 inches wide which bolted to the factory c5 rear seat tracks-nut and bolt then bolted to factory mounting bolts in floor.I did millions of measurements then just laughed and made the 2 pieces of steel (per side) and installed them.Yes you can still keep your old seats and reinstall at anytime it takes about 20 minutes and your done.I ran the wires under carpet to battery compartment with a fuse for the power.Thats it............
