Anybody install an aftermarket drivers seat?

The Recaros are nice but I don't like leather seats.

Has anyone bought an aftermarket seat and installed it? Pics and what brand did you go with?

I'm looking at the microsuede Corbeau CR1's. I know there is some work with transferring the harness and tricking the airbag sensors. I've been looking for a definitive 2015 install before I tackle it. I already have a lot on my plate currently.

I'll look for the discussion I found online, it was for a 2014 IIRC but should work similarly.

I believe the person moved the airbag sensor over to the new seats and used resistors to "simulate" the airbags for the computer.

If you do end up doing the swap, I'd be interested in the Recaros. Gl

I'm sure some bracket work would be mandatory. I don't know how the bracket is integrated on the OEM EIX, if it allows R&R with a vehicle specific mount then it would be feasible.



A quick look on EB shows it's very possible to get vehicle specific brackets and fit the seats. Now it's up to the overall size for fit.
