As you guys know I've been battling these seats for a while but it's finally come to an end. I am using Corbeau seat brackets with an adapter plate to fit the Tom seats. Here is the 99% finished product. All I have to do is get the plates powdercoated and it will be done. Here's some pics:

Sweet, I was wondering what happened to this project.

What were the Corbeau brackets worth?

And hows the fitment in the car now? (height wise)

Corbeau Brackets $300. Ya I know but I had no other choice!

Height fitment is perfect for me. It's almost exactly like the stock height. Not to low but not high either. I ordered the taller model brackets that have a riser but you can get ones without the riser.

s**t Mike those seats are sexy. Lemme know if you need a hand with getting them in the car when the time comes. Looks super pro right now. You're using good bolts tho right? Hardened, galvanized steel right?

Yup strong bolts they are. Trust me the only thing left standing will be my seats bolted to the brackets.

Mike...that is some awesome work their buddy...

Keep it up...

By the way...my rims are getting powder coated.... I ended up going to one by my work....the company is called Colourfast...who is located near Keele and Langstaff.

I ended up getting them done in a gunmetal colour with semi-gloss clearcoat....

I should have them in about 2 weeks.
