Just becuase it is not required does not mean that it is not a good idea for SAFETY! I know you like to do the bare minimum (the cage in the black car comes to mind!) but do think about what happened to Huskers car and the insane MPH that a turbo car like yours will go. 
The seats are factory, but were recovered with leather in the LT1 style. They are a really high quality leather.
I'll get some better pictures of the front corners. To make sure its behind the dash, I did do some cutting of the upper area, that I plan on welding back up when the bar is done.

Ryan please tell me I am not losing my mind though... They were that leather when you bought it right?
I remeber it like it was yesterday, it was out at Bremerton, first time I saw the car was bone stock with like a 160,000 miles on it and it was still running 13.60's.

but just curious. Also why did you have those front bars bend backwards so far? is there something in the way I am not seeing? Well, thats the part of it that has Ellis up in arms. Its not the best angle, but it gives me a lot of foot room and ease of entry/exit. I have two kits to make the door bars swing out/removable but I may not even use them.

I plan to try angling the down bars forward a couple inches at the bottom to 1) move the attach point forward of the door opening and 2) tie them directly to the SFCs. DISCLAIMER: I havent' modded things up yet so I am not sure how things actually line up.
I am also going to install door-sill bars (if I can make them fit along the bottom of the TA seats).
