Corbeau Seat Question

Getting Ready to order some CR-1's..


The new wide version of the seat is out and adds 2" to all the width measurements all around. Anyone think this will be a problem?

Measure your stock seats. I think that you'll find that the wider Corbeaus still aren't wider than what you have now.

Stock is about 20-20.5" at the widest point. I think it may fit the wide ones are 22.5" wide at the widest spot.

Anyone have any comments on the install of the regular size? Do they fit well? two inches to spare for room?

My regular size Corbeaus fit pretty damn tight against the console. I don't think you could get and extra 2 inchs in there.
