I know those seats are for the Rx-8, and I'd thought that they'd look weird in an mx-3, but honestly, they look extremely sick! You get the wiring sorted out?

are you trying to make the rear seats fit somehow?

i like the work you did on modifying those brackets. do these seats sit much higher or lower then the stock ones?

lol to each his own. i figured theyd go with your colour scheme more. but i guess black goes with everything eh?

good luck with the rears, i really hope you can find a way to make them fit.
