Passenger side is in!

So I had read about how bad a lot of these seat brackets were, so I was expecting install to be a little bit of a PITA. Well I was wrong, the Corbeau brackets fit perfect. 4 bolt holes to attach to the seat lined up perfect. The 5 holes that go to the stock location lined up perfect as well. Install was an absolute breeze!

I also busted out our highly inaccurate bathroom scale. I weighed the stock passenger seat at 56.5lbs. I weighed the replacement seat at 29lbs and the bracket at 11.5lbs. Not quite the weight difference I expected, but again this is my chinese bathroom scale. I also predict the stock drivers side seat will be heavier and be a more significant weight savings.

The seats fit in the car great, feel comfy, a hair more difficult to get in/out because of the torso bolsters but really not that bad. Overall very good first impressions, couldn't be more satisfied.

Only negative things are that the seat belt clip sits a little high, but whatever I'm sure they have it like that to clear the worst case scenario seat with super high bottom bolsters. And also it takes a little bit away from the sleeper-ness of the car, but that's kinda to be expected.

Bosses stamp of approval. Pregger Wife even said it felt snug yet comfy, and she's packing an extra person right where those bolsters are!
