I sat it in today when we met up for lunch. The seats are much more comfortable in comparison to the stock Lightning seats.
NOTE: This is not my truck so I won't be able to field any of your questions.
Enjoy!

Wow should have known it would be a tough crowd. Normally not much of the mounting shows at all. I slid the seats all the way back for the pics. The plates al only as wide as the factory mounting rails. I do plan to round off the corners and was considering having them anodized black. When I put it together I was torn between making the plates blend in (black) or stand out. I chose stand out so I polished them. With the seats in a normal position it looks much better with just the edges showing. Matches the billet pedals nicely. I did use a 2000+ Expy console, the version without heat controls. The seats are new Viper seats that I bought on e-bay. My biggest concern with the install was strength. A failed seat bracket could turn a minor accident into a fatality. The plates are 3/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum. All the factory mounting points were used and reinforced with washer and nuts on the back side. Looks to be about a 50lb weight saving overall.

Hey...I wonder if Hennessey Motorsports sold those seats on E-Bay? Remember that post awhile back about him selling that guys front end and wheels? Guy took a brand new Viper to him and a check for 100K plus another 20K and still doesn't have his car. Very pissed off at himself and Hennessey. Anyway your seats look good but the plates need a little work. Some black carpet and black plates would be way cool. IMHO
