That will be great as i also bought racing seats few months back and went to a place to install them and they said there was no provisions for the seatbelt that i had to get a engineer to do it so i took the seats back and bought something else if you did it a better way ill buy seats again and install them.

Here ya go John, I just removed the ones from the stock seats and bolted it to the aftermarket ones using that bolt at the rear, its about 2 inches long so it wasnt a problem, the only thing i have to do is get better washers and its going to be perfect.

how much were they. i can get ones like that for 120 dollars a piece. But my friend has a honda prelude and i'm gonna see if i can make those seats work in my car becuase then have more side suppoert and seat support than my seats do but i think the seat part is gonna be to wide

Seats were $249 CAD each and about $30 of hardware (bolts, washers, nuts and square tubing)
