Damn. If it’s 30 lbs, a racing seat won’t be worth it. Is it easy to take it out? If so I might take it out and weigh it to check. What other ideas do you guys have in weight reduction? In the long run I might want this to be a project build. So I want to try to make it as light and fast as possible. Thank you.

Chris forgot to tell you that your stock seats have tons of sensors wire into them. Once you remove your stock seats, it will trigger your AIRBAG, Belt, door chime, & child safety sensors.
Be careful, when removing your stock seats. You don’t want to damage a seat sensor or strip a bolt. You might even need a Toyota Special Tool remove a few bolts. I call it an Allen Wrench or hex key.
Once you select your racing seats… oh, don’t forget to pick up a set of seat brackets, sliders, rails, harness bar, harness belts, etc.. The last time I check most NAME BRAND parts are not backward compatible
HAVE FUN!!
HEY.. Chris!

(( Take youre time )) it could cost you $5K for a single seat, NO JOKE !
What I would do if I w you, buy an extra set of seats that have the air bags deployed,
you ca get them for about $300 a pair, use the seat brakets and get ON with the project !
The OEM Parts most of the time are Heavier them aftermarket parts !
I installed new rims on my 2017 iM and the after market rims/tires are 5 Lbs lighter (each) then the ones that D car came with.
Choose Aluminum frame Seats and you will be under weight !
Good Seat's that will fit that Project > Braum, Cobra Seats, Recaro, Sparco, NRG Innovations and Takata Racing Seats take youre pick !
Veery EZ project.
Happy Trails you RollAddicts !

Maybe to disassemble the seats, but not to remove them.
I have an LE with cloth seats. Nothing special. Drivers seat has 3 connectors, passengers seat has 4, more if you have butt warmers.
The bolts are standard 14mm (x4).
Disconnect the battery before removing or replacing any electrical connectors, especially the yellow ones!
Yellow is air bag stuff and you could trip the bags if power is present.
just dont cut any wires, you will be sorry !
its me again , How you doing CD ?
Got 1 on, one more to go !
EZ does it, just need to be gentle with all wires !
waiting on my 4 point seat belts now, should be here sometime next week !
I hope the Dunkey that this company uses to bring the parcel had a good meal and plenty of water so they can just walk faster w NO issues on the road !
LOL
what do you think Guys ?!

I just wish I could instal a better brand Radio w some good speakers, if you changed the Radio, I was told that I would have to get a secondary back up camera cause the OEM will not and there is NO jack that will work on a new Radio ! Thats F UP !
I was looking to install > (( Alpine - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver - Built-in Bluetooth - Satellite Radio ))
Any Advice, its welcome !

GM Thanks
Time consuming to get it done right !
No seat warmer on 2017 iM model, will NOT use seat belts, instead I will use the 4 point belts !
Will NOT remove the OEM seat belt system, Most Keep !
The sensor on the seat belt will be bypass w a couple of Safety seat belt buckle clips, ( like this )
This way the seat belt light will stay off, system will think there is someone seating @ all time !
Its a most THINK before you Act.
Happy Trails You RollAddict's !
