I guess that leaves me out if 22 is the widest
I do think that the seats are sharp looking and would look good in the Lightning

Well if ya figure it out lemme know as I might have to get a piar. Since they are so cheap ya may just oughta get em and try to fab something up. At worst if you aren't satisfied throw em up on ebay and recoup some of your money. I think for hte price its worth a shot.

ok this is what i got to do!

the guy also sells corbeau stuff, so he will order me in the brackets i need.

so i'll buy the seats, and then buy the brackets from him too.

what a deal.

here is his e-mail if you want the hook up, tell him you saw the $369 ebay ad.

marcus@advautoparts.com

i also asked if they would fit my fat @ss and he told me that they are the biggest he has sat in, so i'll trust it, but if they are to skinny, i'll sell them.

Is that $369 for the pair? Thats almost to good to be true and Iam sure I'll be dropping a few lbs over the stock bench

You can sell your stock bench for nearly $800-1000 depending on its condition. If each seat is only $400, then you can pick up the center console with the left over money. Basically it would be a free mod to upgrade the stock seats to a different setup.

I love the comfort of the stock seats, but I hate the support they provide. I never use the bench seat, and I would much rather have a center console. I never move my seat, so I don't need the power adjustments. On top of all that, the setups posted above are freaking awesome looking. I think I have found my next mod as well.
