ive just put some in my cabby mate, they look and feel awesome. :D .. just need to retrim the headrest on them as they were involved in fire damage from before...

the back holes line up and can be boled down to the floor pan but for the front bolt holes, you eill need to drill two holes into the floor pan and use long bolts and nuts... can be a pain to fit, but final look is well worth it !! :D
