Here is how the seat install went:

Remove stock seat. 2 Torx 50 bolts and unplug the stock seat. Unplug and remove the seat belt receiver from the stock seat frame.

Picture 1. Test install the planted bracket (Part SB137DR) It looks good... wait a sec...

Picture 2. Well, I don't have any low profile torx bits, so that isn't going to work.

Picture 3. Solution, cut out the offending piece of aluminum.

Picture 4. Install the planted side brackets onto the seat. They are in the lowest possible rear setting so the seat doesn't hit the planted bracket base.

Picture 5. Place the seat on top of the base in the car and sit in it, get comfortable and mark or measure where you want the seat in relation to the base. Then mark where you need to drill holes to mount the seat to the base. For whatever reason the predrilled holes on both the planted base and side pieces do not line up so they must expect you to drill your own.

Picture 6. Bolt the seat to the base outside of the car, line it up so that the seat will be closer to the transmission tunnel than the door or else it will hit the door. Bolt on the stock seat belt receiver, I used aftermarket hardware for this (and some other parts too, I can't remember exactly what came with the seat and brackets and what didn't).

Picture 7. Looks good! Wait a sec...

Picture 8. Goddamn it, now the torx bolt on the other side is blocked!

Picture 9. I thought about cutting more. But instead I just bought a bolt. I probably should be diligent and get a stronger version of it in the future considering safety is involved, but this one here is a home depot special.
