Recaros in a 2013 ZL1 Convertible?
 
Anyone swap Recaros into a ZL1 Convertible? I have a 2013 and would like to add them. They never came from the factory, and I was wondering if there was a specific reason.

Side airbags

They weren't available as an option until 2014.

I am well aware of that. It wasn't my question.

Your question was vague and ambiguous. My bad.

Really? I asked if anyone ever installed Recaros in their Camaro Convertible. Pretty straight forward question. If you ask me.

Now, if I said Hey guys, When did they start installing Recaro Seats in the 5th Gen Camaros?, your answer would have been valuable.

Hey, 2ss-booya, how dare you misconstrue his initial question! :mad2:

LOL! I was going to answer the same exact way. "They weren't offered until 2014 (in coupes only).". I'm glad I didn't, I would've gotten a reprimanded too. Anyways, I do believe it has to do with the side-curtain airbags. I'd like to install them in my vert! :smoking:

I will avoid the tension in this thread and add my 2 cents...

I understand they will physically fit in a vert. But as RH96ss points out, the lack of side airbags in a vert creates a problem. Basically, the side airbag “wires” would have no where to go, so the other airbags might not work properly. I wouldn’t want to mess with that, but I would truly LOVE to have Recaros in my ‘13 vert. I think I read on here somewhere that someone’s has done it, though. Don’t remember for sure. Anyone else know?

It’s one of the only reasons I would consider a different Camaro. But I love IOM verts, so I’m 100% out of luck. Lol...

I'd keep that flamesuit on, 'cause it looks like he's got 5 Camaros, including a '13 ZL1. :yikes:

Uh oh, now my post was vague and ambiguous...dammit

I was defending the OP's original question, didn't catch the fact he has SS's also.

Oh well, it happens when you play with fire...LOL

RobZL1 12-17-2017 07:34 PM

LOL! This thread is awesome. :)

2ss-booya 12-21-2017 10:58 PM

I step in to answer a question one time....lol
