Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 OKKY DOKKY. After MUCH hassle, pain, suffering, hacking, and fabrication of crap to make these work, (THANK YOU HONEY!) here are a few pics of the Corbeaus in the ol 98. I think they came out GORGEOUS!!!

Donbecker Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Look great. What happened to the old seats? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hey everyone, thanks for the from everyone. Mark busted his ass to put these in for me. They most certainly were NOT a direct fit as Corbeau advertised. Anyway, with everything I walked out the door paying $1186.98. However, the fabrication for the shoulder retractor harness mount (2: 4" long pieces of Sqaure metal about a 1/4" thick welded to the back of the gas tank bar, the cutting of the siderails where the OEM seatbelts go, the dremmelling of the hole where the new harnesses mount to, the longer bolts needed for the mounting of the retractor, etc,,, and the frustration and hours Mark spent figuring out all this crap, along with the removal of the "L" bracket on the mounting rails.... If he were charging me, would have been wayyy too expensive. :angry Lucky for me Mark likes BEER! He' is cheap labor or should I say "will work for BEERS!" LOL. Later all. TanyaP.S. The old seats are going to Dwayne for his Vette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togo Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 so did you fire of a letter to corbeau for their misrepresentation on the "direct fit"perhaps they need to know that for future customers, and maybe you can get a hookup or at least kudos they look AWESOME!i cannot wait to get my C5 so i can play and upgrade with the big boys (and girls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waymirec Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 An absolute PITA to get installed but they sure are comfortable arent they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I LOVE the way they fit. Very comfortable! Thanks for the inspiration WaymireC! ;) TanyaP.s. No letter to Corbeau. They wouldn't care anyway from the way the guy talked to me and Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kens06 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 They look great Tanya!!I'll have to check them out on Friday to see if my big ass would even fit in those without a horizontal cargo strap!! You have quite a combo husband there! Mechanic, Design Engineer, machinist, and all around fun guy to be around, even though he prefers Mustangs!!

knkayotte Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 even though he prefers Mustangs!! Ken Thought we had him converted for a while, but he slipped back to the dark side. Two steps forward one and half steps back kind of thing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
