yeah it would be nice. but i love the look how it is right now. it looks like the car came out from the factory like this.
if i do something with the front seats then i have to do that to everything else.

The scion seat for the airbag, did you guys pull the whole airbag out or just used the sensor. Because placing an unmounted airbag under the seat sounds dangerous lol, nothing like having a seat launcher

Default Yes they will!

So! Short answer, Yes. Long answer... You need to make some modifications... I personally didn't want to pay for custom rails, so I drilled out the rivets on the mounting hardware for the Scion tC seats, as well as the rivets on the Celica seats for the mounting hardware. Made the appropriate measurements, and attached the tC mounting brackets to the Celica rails with bolts. This part is important though. One of the tC mounting brackets is WELDED. Not just riveted. Broke out an angle grinder with a cutting disk and made fairly quick work of it. Also the tC mounting hardware is about an inch closer together than the original Celica hardware, so you will need something to bridge the gap. Essentially mounting something to the Celica rail and then mounting the hardware to that. I opted for wood just for ease of drilling and I had it on hand, but metal would probably be more secure if you're worried.

TL;DR - Yes, but it takes work. I personally hate the Scion tC seats, they kill my back, and my head touches the roof of the tC being that I'm 6ft1. The Celica seats do sit a bit lower, but it worked out perfectly for me. You could also add spacers between the mounting hardware and the rails fairly easy if you wanted.

Cheers,
- Vestro
