Fits really well! How much fabrication did it take?

Also thanks for rocking the RCC decal! The car looks fantastic! Beautiful 1st gen!

How does the seat height compare to stock?

Any chance we could get photos or drawings of the mounts to help us visualize how to do this? That would be much appreciated, as details on successful RX8 seat installs are pretty scarce at the moment.

Very nice mod, and a great car!
