Default Corbeau Carrera (CR1) seat install, pics !

Final install of the weekend. After looking at the Corbeau Carrera seat box for way too long, I finally decided to install the seats. In the coming weeks I will be installing a bunch of other items that I have for the interior. I'm not going to install the 4 point harness right now, I will wait to install the new carpet and mats first. After finishing the install it makes me wish I had installed these years ago when I first purchased the seats. Corbeau's sliders worked very well and installed with no problems. These seats are an incredible value for their price/performance and looks ! While driving the car back to storage I was very impressed with how well the side bolsters and overall fit grab your body. Dare I say, European performance at a fraction of the cost. I did install the air bladder in the seats for better lower lumbar support and it worked very well. If anyone is considering the same seat; do it, you won't be dis-appointed for the money. I will take some additional pics of the both seats installed next time I work on the car.

too much red for my taste, but still very nice seats! Are they more comfortable than stock seats?

Dirty Bird 222,
Just purchase the brackets from Corbeau. They bolt right in

Ls1CamaroGuy87,
I actually think there much more supportive and just feel better. I'm 6,1" with a 32" waist and would definitely say these are for thin guys


My whole car them is Silver/red/black. The red seats look very well balanced in the sea of charcoal inside the WS6 cars.

I love the look of red seats, my old charcoal Porsche 944 had them and I loved it. Looks amazing!

Those look nice, I can not wait to get mine in the car.



I was thinking of getting mine taken apart and a custom logo on them.

I will have to see how hard it would be.
