Hey guys! Happy Holidays!

As promised, here's an update on my recent seat/harnesses install.

Parts list:
- Corbeau FX1 Pro Seats (Black Microsuede)
- Corbeau Red 5-Point Camlock Harnesses
- Corbeau E82 Bottom Mount Brackets w/ Sliders

Once the stock seats were out, (4 bolts, and 2 electrical plugs on each seat), getting the new seats in was a breeze. I attached the Corbeau brackets to the new seats, and they bolted right up to the factory mounting points without issue.

The lap belts were anchored to the new seat bracket, and the shoulder belts were anchored to the rear seatbelt mounting points. This will be how I run them until I get a proper harness bar/cage. There are a few cages out there I have my eyes on. I also need to get around to mounting the 5th belt (Anti-Sub) but will need to drill two holes in the floor for those.

Once harnesses and seats were installed, it was just a matter of coding out the following errors in ProTools, and I was on my way!

Weight savings was about 65 lbs for the pair of seats vs the stocks! And obviously, I feel way more confident in corners now that I am almost literally glued to the seat. Can't wait to put these to use on the track!

Now for some pictures!
