Not to mention, some people might want to use the hole where the grounds are (if you relocated them like I did), some people will want to use the headlight bracket, etc...

I figure if you can't use a drill (or double sided 3M tape) you shouldn't be modding your car

velcrow. (or how ever it is spelled) would be best. then you could take off easy.

Another great example (velcro, no w )...

I will include instructions for multiple options for mounting but I don't want to limit the customer nor end up with multiple designs that will just make each piece cost more money (more setup fees)...

What you call four parts was done with one and in one hour. Put the time and you will sell your stuff. My T/a has the same latch assembly. Not hard. It will look much better, after all isn't that what you are going for. Dont half *** nothing.

Was just trying to help you out, and you come with this read the thread crap.

i'd definately be in if you made these. they look awsome. i know you said you weren't going to make it cover the middle portion, but if all you'd have to do is put a hole where the hood latch assembly comes down, would it really be that much more expensive or hard to do? i'm not not bashing, like i said, i'll buy them as the 2 piece but i'd spend the extra money for a 1 piece that covered the middle part if you made it.

Here's the way it works... ALL seats that are aftermarket generally come with their own sliders (the things that allow the seat to travel forward and back).

They are universal, which is great if you have a flat floor race car but most don't so you need seat BRACKETS which allow you to:

Bolt the seats to the sliders (that they came with)

Bolt the sliders (that they came with) to the bracket

Bolt the bracket to the floor of your car.

Factory rails are discarded at this point. If you want to retain your factory rails you just buy the seats and some flat metal stock from a local hardware store. Drill holes for the seats, then drill holes for the factory rails and bolt it all together.

Do a search under my screen name, I did a write-up.

However, since using the factory power rail makes you sit HIGHER in aftermarket seats most just ditch them and use the sliders they come with and the brackets I am getting made for you guys...

OK PEOPLE, I HAVE OFFICIALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF THE CENTER PIECE. I WILL PRODUCE THEM AS WELL. NO PICTURES UNTIL I AM READY TO SELL...

It will only work with the other two pieces I am already showing in this thread, I will probably sell as a set...

Everyone will be VERY PLEASED when they see what I have come up with

I'm just waiting to hear back on pricing...

FORGOT TO MENTION... These will be made in STAINLESS STEEL. So you can just put them right on and they will look great or powdercoat to your heart's desire
