as much as i'm against hacking these cars up to make them strict track cars, those seats are ******* beautiful.

You either need to get a set of side mount brackets with lots of vertical height adjustment or use the entire universal seat frame setup which includes not only the square frame but also a height adjustable block up set of rails which bolt to it. You then need to fasten the side mount brackets to that block up rail. I should be wrapping it up in a week or so. You can see a picture of the Sparco universal seat base http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/491.html
I'm the same height. I didn't think that the seeing over the dash situation would be that bad. Hopefully it works out lol. I'm having the same shop that's doing the 4 point install fab up brackets. There will be some adjustment but only with unbolting and rebolting it in.

I read somewhere that you can buy seat belts for a Pontiac G8 and there is a mounting location on the B-pillar. I'd love to know more about this myself because my wife hates the way the seat mounted belt fits her.

I'm still waiting for the air bag light fix? Turn off the light and still have the wheel airbag functional?
