shhhhhhhh. i've made it 4 years so far.. It helps to mail noobz unmarked $20 now and then along with nekked pictures of hawt women.
Those are the seats I was wanting to have in the end in my blue car. Too bad it was so much trouble for you.I haven't posted an interior shot of the car since the new seats went in, or since I gave the door bars the 'I'm sick of climbing over these damn things' treatment. The story of these seats is so incredibly long, even Mike would sigh at the idea of telling the whole ordeal. Long story short, it took 6 months to get these seats, and I probably won't be a TMI customer in the future.
The seats are in though, they look good, they're comfortable, and the driver side is full power. I'm happy.

And you think that would've stopped me? It's all about fact and fiction Scott. Just enough fiction to keep the facts from boring, with gratuitous pictures thrown in for the mouth breathers.
The key to being a wanna-be writer. ( Cause not everybody has your camera, or special effect gadgetry for taking such professional looking pics).....BTW,....you should've primed and sanded that roll bar before paint,...Your great HD pics make the bar look........unfit for Scott interior duty.
While I'm at it, or,...... on another note..........
I'm just saying that my keen, overly critical, eye can see the mandrel bend marks at the bend where the seat belt crosses the bar. It's such a shame to have beautifully welded tig joints, and then have those Quasimoto looking gouges fouling up the pictures....

Stop using a 50MP camera, and start using your 8MP Iphone Scott,...your pics will look waaaay better.
To people w/ keen, overly critical eyes.
That see sht that doesn't matter.
To anybody.
Except you.
he's back on the street corner.

No, just because I don't plan on ever drag racing the car. I don't have a battery cutout or harness either.
Hey Scott, tell me the details about your seats. What year are they, and is that the sport R covers or the r500's? Or something different all together.I haven't posted an interior shot of the car since the new seats went in, or since I gave the door bars the 'I'm sick of climbing over these damn things' treatment.

I know it was a PITA for you, but damn I love the results. Maybe it will be different for me
So the modifications to the brackets....Are the brackets '05 brackets then?Thanks Dave. The frames are from an 05 GT. These are basically the same seats:

The difference in mine is that mine is a custom color and I have suede stripes down the middle. The custom color is part of the long story. TMI's definition of black is different than my definition of black. The black seats I ordered were more of a charcoal color and it definitely clashed with the very black fox interior. I asked for black swatches so I could compare all the blacks they offer and pick the one I liked the best. 6 months later... I had my custom order.
The seats took about 6 hours to put together, not including the tear down of the old upholstery and the bracket modifications. Knuckle-busting work for sure. Zero fun. I think the efforts were worth it though. They are very comfortable seats.
Here's a picture after I assembled the driver side.
And then here are some shots of the mounting modifications.
