We are finally in putty section.

gave them strict instructions to keep the putty to an ABSOLUTE minimum.

Also you may find my front strut braces to help give the front more rigidity...

Hopefully in a few days i will get my car back then its off to the electrician to have my E67 communicate with my car...

seats are mounted in the same holes with the sparco slider. 3.3ohms resistor if i am not mistaken for the side airbag delete.

The street seatbelt was tricky, gto seatbelts and accessories. Everythin plugs in. The seatbelt main unit is bolted the the bottom portion of the pillar and the top point is bolted in as well.

Everything has a place you just need to take it all apart to access it

What sparco slider? The universal seat base with just the regular sliders? Tell me they make a seat base for our cars and Im going to be pissed! the 09+ version looks similar, but I was unwilling to buy one to find out. Either way, snap some pictures of the seats and bases please and thank you!

Yes, i now pulled the rear fender out 2" and kept the original lines as much as possible. I didnt want it to look like they were added but the car came this way. When i get back i am goin to check out my wheel clearances and see if i may have coilover setup so i may have better rear end height adjustment.

You are a brave man...

May i suggest custom rear offset wheels. I made the mistake of goin with ZR1 wheels so i was stuck with the offset, but i couldnt pass on $1500 for set of four shipped to me with hub caps...

Let me know which angles you need and i will try and take the same fotos for you as well...For now browse through my flickr pix...
