What do people do about the seatbelt brackets that are on the stock seats?

Re: Seats? Why do people get that rear section that says "CAMARO" in all black? I personally don't get it.. If I saw the car riding down the street I'd figure he must have been in an accident and they haven't painted that part yet.. haha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Sorry I know you probably like it but It just looks freakin ODD to me having that one little section in black and then close the hatch and it being the body color.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

1. It is nostalgic to the old lat 60's and early 70's Camaro, Chevelle and Nova SS's Back then all SS's came with a black rear panel to denote its status as an SS.
2. GMMG brought back the look with their modified SS's, the Berger, Tom Henry and the Intimidator.
IMHO it looks awesome!

Re: Seats? I have a set of Sparco touring TVR's coming to me in the next couple of weeks. Its going to be a pain getting the brakets to work on them. Some people say it will look to "ricey" but when they find out why I went with them they understand (see very bottom of sig).
Go here to see them:

Yes they are. I paid a considerable amount less than that though. The seats are cutting edge as far as design and safety are concerned. The halo that they have is the biggest reason why I got them. The biggest crapper about them is that I will have to have custom floor brakets built for the SS to hold the side mount brakets that hold the seat. Unless someone here knows where I can find a set.

I then saw a picture of the 302 concept with some aftermarket seat and they used a strap to keep the belt tight and low to the seat. I decided I could make one using Spandex material (thanks TK14SS) using a surger (a fancy sewing machine), and some velcro I made a removable strap that looks decent and works great. here is a photo. I have planned on making a bracket like the stock one that will fasten off of the plastic harness loop surround. Seatbelt strap for Targa RS seats!!

Re: Seats? The general consensus is my seats are rice, so here is my riced out interior with Sparco Torino seats. Millions of times better than the stock seats, in comfort and grip.

Re: Seats? I'm thinking of getting the corbea carerra... anyone have these?
Also, how did the corbeau brackets fit for you guys? Did they bolt right in, no problems?
I have a 91 Eclipse GSX before, and when I went to put in my seat brackts, they didn't really line up, so I had to drill holes.
Thanks!!
