See you found the posts ! Thanks for the comments

I was going to just do ebony trim in the car but a friend is giving me a helluva deal on his whole interior so it's getting FULL ebony (dash included) this weekend...

Not sure I'll FINISH the install this weekend but as soon as I do I'll be whoring it up with more pics

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I just ordered some of the MRC seats and got them today.

I'm really starting to doubt these are REAL leather even though it says on their site they are.

Are you postively sure yours are?

Great write up!

Never mind, after looking closer at the seats, I think they are real leather.

Well, drilling the holes out more equated to having to move them 1/2" over so they were on the very edge of the bracket. Not so safe.

Their brackets also use just a couple of tabs of steel welded to the front for the front floor mounting positions... Doesn't seem very strong.

SO, I had a local welder redesign the bracket for me using a stronger design and proper mounting holes. Looks and works GREAT ! Plus I only paid $100 for the pair as opposed to $130

BUT, I had already paid the $130 to Arizen Oh well, live and learn .

I know this is an old thread but did you ever take pictures of the brackets before you installed them? Thanks!
