Gias fit, zetas should aswell i think vios are fine too. Infact not many of the brides won\'t fit.

although you can get some in with custom rails the seating position is horrible. Obviously a small enough seat and spending a decent amount of time fabing the rails and they\'ll be great.

Zeta WILL NOT fit. I had to sell mine and it broke my heart :( The shoulders are too wide. You either have to butcher the doorcards or the seats, or create a custom subframe which gives you a ridiculously offset and uncomfortable seating position. (can you tell i tried everything to make them fit?!?)

VIOS and GIAS will -however.
There are a fair few of the Brides that won\'t fit, including a large amount of the recliners :(

I should have an Old Skool BRIDE Recliner going in mine soon when the subframe turns up. Woohoo. BRIDE ftw!

Which one?
You may find it a VERY tight fit :(
They have very broad bases which tend to foul the transmission tunnel, and the shoulders often foul the doorcards as mentioned above :(
