Front Seat Alternatives
Hey I have been looking all over the forum to see if anyone has replaced our front seats with seats from some other vehicles mfg's.
Does anyone know of any other seats (Not Aftermarket) that will fit on our existing base. I was looking at a set of Integra Leather seats on Craigslist that are real nice and was wondering if anyone knows what type of seats will fit onto our existing base. |

I don't know if they'll fit or not but I'd go with 2011 Corvette Z06 seats

have you ever sat in a Vette? no thanks, I swear they make them believing the first thing every owner is going to do is go out and buy a racing seat.

Well, its just my opinion. Anything would be better than a stock Yari seat. Even my 08 ''S'' LB seats are not comfortable at all. I'm actually thinking very hard about a 2012 Vette Grand Sport convertible. I know, I'll take out the seats from the Vette & put them in the Yari and put the Yari seats in the Vette. |

I was thinking that possibly seats from a 1999-06 Celica, or or any seats from a Lexus or Toyota coupe may fit. Our seats surely suck and was looking to see if anyone was sucessful in replacing their seats with seats from another car.

Somebody had done seats from a Mark 5 VW Rabbit. Said the GTI seats would work as well. I tried searching for it but it hasn't turned up yet, but I know it was posted on this forum. I'm considering finding some MK5 GTI seats myself because those bolsters are AWESOME.

Does anybody know if any of the Scion model seats would be a direct fit into the Yaris?

Keep in mind that replacing the passenger seat may cause the airbag system not to work properly. We have a module (designed by CTScott) to fix that when using another brand of seat or a racing seat.

scion tC seat not a direct fit....nearly impossible to pull the frame of the seats apart to mount on another frame.....it can be done but gthe seat is also not very comfy unless you put in a Clazzio seat cover on it,bad bolster fitment on the seats too.

I'm interested in this as well. I'm a new Yaris owner as of a few weeks ago. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the car, but some more seat adjustability would be great.
I used to have WRX seats swapped into my legacy, I wonder if those seats would swap over. |

2ZR swap. DO IT! Ask how!

I had read rumors on this forum about the '10+ having improved seats, but a quick check of trdsparks parts list shows that the seat frame is the same for 07-11 hatch. Other seat replacement threads can be found for fitting racing seats, but those tend to be about trying to lower the seat height, not just the comfort.

'00 celica seats fits very well but you must swap the track sliders. They are similar but the brackets are not at the same location. Those seats look neat but expect to sit low in the car, very low. Not recommended for 5' 7" and shorter drivers.
The steering from the same celica is a direct fit also, air bag, etc. I did this on mine and I even installed a celica shifter with the leather boot. Shortened the shifter a good 3" at the same time. |

scion XD seats are pretty much Yaris S/RS seats. should fit as the car is pretty much same as a yaris.
