The cantilever bars that support the middle section of the seat can just be unbolted. Just remove the 4 bolts that hold the seat pan to the rail system, and then remove the bolt that holds the driver seat belt to the side of the rail and slide out the bars.

The only thing Patrick and I had to cut was the seat pan...nothing else.

Well, it will possibly depend on the type of seats.

I'm pretty sure there is a hole in the fabric on my seats where the seat belt reel is attached by the headrest, which would mean your hole for that reel, if the cover was placed on the passenger seat, would be opposite where you need it. The fabric clips may line up, but I'm not 100% sure. Makes sense to me they would.

As per Jake's "request", I will post the updates I spoke of later today.

Been on my phone all week, and I can resize pictures to 56k loving sizes.

Here is the update, as promised!

I met up with Jake (thejake1989) and we swapped out the skins of our consoles so they would actually match the interiors.

Pics!






I also need to do a few adjustment to the carpet and console skeleton to make it sit flush with the lower dash piece where the tranny hump is...

Thanks, Ryan.

Brad, it's both dirt and some wear. I cleaned it up quickly the other day, but it's getting recovered anyways. I'm fine with it for now.

Thanks guys. I liked Jake's idea for the flashlight, so I stole his and now I'm buying him a new one.

Garrett, bumper has been on for about 4 months, but thanks for the compliment on it!
