Default Calling Corbeau Evolution X C3 Owners!

For anyone who's installed the Corbeau Evolution X (non-reclinable, non-foldable) seats in a bubble-back, late C3: How difficult is it putting things into the back and taking them back out again?

Can you fit your t-tops into the back still without major tetris action?



This are by far the most drop-dead gorgeous seats produced for our C3s but no fold feature gives me a HUUUGE pause...

Ray: Why did you have to bring up such a good point?!? There's now ZERO seats that will fit in my C3 that I actually want... SIGH...

I just wish the Corbeau A4s came with the same materials as the Evolution X seats. I'm vain and the Evolution X's just look 2x as nice as the A4s.
