Thanks for all the complements and I'll check out the 4-eyed site.

The '04 Cobra is a friend of mine's, a very nice car. It's mostly stock with a couple of bolt-ons, but it will be getting a KB soon.

Daggar, I'll be talking to you about your thoughts on the KB in the near future.

Will do, I just need to figure out how to remove them (at first glance I did not see where the bolts are underneath the floorboard) and get the originals seats cleaned.

It looked like there were studs in the front and bolts in the rear. I used a 15mm and removed the rear bolts, but when I started on the fronts, the studs just spun. I did not have the chance to look under the car and see where these bolts/studs are so that I can get the nuts off. Are they under some heat-shield or something? I have had the car on a rack a couple of times, but I forget to check to see their location.

the studs should stay tight, but you can use channel lock to hold the top of the stud and then loosen the bolt. try some wd 40 also, the bolts on the front sometimes just stuck to the studs on on the floor board. if there are sub frame connectors, usually there are bolts underneath that get bolted to the seat bolts/studs.
