You will either have to buy brackets or make like an adaptor plate to go from the seats to the factory sliders.I have APC seats and just made brackets to adapt them to the factory sliders.If you look at the one side veiw you can see a gold color bracket between the seat and the slider.It is a peice of angle steel.

Hey!! I'm looking at getting those same seats.. Super Race APC right? How comfortable are they...? How's the padding? Do the bolsters hit the door at all when you close them? where did you buy them? Lots of questions.... sorry

The steering wheel is a grant wheel.I bought from a friend.

Yes the seats are the super race seats.They are pretty comfortable.I haven't gone on a long trip yet but don't fear it.Yes the seats hit the door when you close it.Its not that bad though.They were purchased from Jegs.

The car was originally red on red.Painted silver before I got it.In the process of changing the interior to balck and blue.Going to paint the car blue as soon as the money starts flowing.A slow process but still moving.
