Default Yonaka Seats installed..Pics...

I've been looking at getting a set of these seats for awhile now because my almost 11 year old seats were starting to show their age..I looked at other brands but didn't want to pay a fortune for seats since I will recover my originals one day.

I bought the leather version and shipped to my door in LA was $620.00..I used the original seat brackets and welded the Yonaka brackets to them..I've read on another thread that someone else tried to install a set and they didn't fit well mine did and fit pretty well..There isn't much room to work with but what is in a C5 !!

I'm 6' tall and right now the seats sit a little higher then the stockers but are very comfortable and look pretty good to me....

Very nice! They maintain a somewhat stock look without being too ridiculous.

Both are mounted on the original power racks which still work..I just plug in the controls if needed..The seats will recline with the adjuster wheel mounted on each side of the seat...
