scion xd seats. passenger seatbelt latch swap with yours needed.

celica (late 90s bug eye??) someone local did it and he is historically not very crafty. lol.

i swapped my seats for xd seats. the seats physically are plug and play.

watching this guy gave inspiration. i cant find the other video where a guy wised up and just stuck it on a racing seat bracket.

there's another video of a guy sticking it in a tacoma using brackets from planted racing.

this would prolly work on 3rd gen yaris.

AFAIK the floor pan is identical between the Prius C and 3rd gen Yaris so this should work. Gonna source a set of Toyobaru seats and gen 3 seat rails and find out.

On another note: you don't find your 3rd Gen seats that comfy either? Visually they look much nicer than the 2nd Gens, but I guess that doesn't attest to their comfort level.

I don't find them that bad, its no Lincoln Town Car(I had a 1989 and 2003) but I've done many long 5+ hour drives in it with no issue, just the usual stiffness when getting out. They are MILES better than the seats in the 1999 Tercel that my car replaced lol.

Hmmm. Thanks for the intel. Did the 3rd gens happen to get lumbar adjustment?

No, just the usual 6 way manual adjust. up/down, front/back and recline.

Great links! Thank you. I'd probably have better luck finding GT86/FRS/BRZ seats in my area. If it truly is a matter up just swapping the Yaris rails onto the seat + offsetting some holes 1/2" that really isn't that bad.

I'm curious how comfortable they are and if they have lumbar adjustment.

How do you like your xD seats? Have a photo of them in your car?
