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?

Beautiful work! And they seem to be an easy install too!

Where did you put the switch for them at?

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.
