If the headrests are adjustable then a seatbelt guide would be really easy to construct...

I don't have the part number on me... but go to corbeau.com and click reclining seats and these will be the "sport seats". Also, these LOOK factory...but own the factory seats. Its like night and day... and the factory seats were uncomfortable... yes the headrests are adjustable. Would you say to do it like 6LE ricky?

I was thinking the same thing but more like "wow they look like seats out of a base cobalt". Sorry man not a fan of these seats.

I would make a bracket that the posts of the adjustable headrests would go through... then have it angle at 90* and mount the original factory guide to it. That way you're not poking holes through the leather and such...

It would be completely reversible if you ever wanted to go with a 5 point harness or something like that. Or you would also be able to modify the bracket to hold two guides in that case...

Just thinking. I've seen a few factory setups similar to what I'm describing.

By the way, the seats look amazing... Really has me thinking about new seats, even though mine are basically mint.

Yup, super easy. Just pop the headrests out and take them and the straps to any local upholster. They should sew them on for like $20...

Im not a small guy. Im 6'2" but im not fat. These are not the wide ones and they're a tad wide even for me. They would handle the weight of 2 adults and they are just as adjustable as stock seats. I may be going a different direction and would trade the seats and brackets off to someone if you wanna buy me some 6LE covers. Didn't see those until after I bought these and I think the 6LE covers are siiiick.
