Thanks for posting that pic, I'm definitely going to use those seat belt guides in a project.

I used some similar seatbelt retainer from some Chevy Cobalt seats after drilling an additional hole too. I don't have a photo of them on my Procar seats, but here they are on the Cobalts:

Just installed UMI rear control arm braces, and relocation brackets. It used to oversteer easily under power but that seems to have gone away. It feels much more stable on hard corners.

Also, my mirror fell off of my 2 month old windshield. I decided not to burden the company by making them warranty such an easy fix and glued it back on myself. Well, it didn't even make it out of the driveway before it fell again, this time taking a chunk of glass with it. The windshield company is saying they aren't going to warranty it because I used the "wrong glue."

Wrong glue? When their glue didn't work?
Sounds more like 'the wrong company'.

Yea, I've got a different company coming to install another one today.

Although, the first company offered to come reglue it in a different spot......

I look at that busted windshield and think of this...and I can't put my finger on why.... 🙂

Sucks that happened. I think the glue worked just fine. It was the windshield that had a problem.

And then, after having the second windshield installed, all the trim blows off on the freeway on the way home.......
