Looks like a front to me. But I hope they are not showing the actual product because that bolt pattern will not work on front or rear.

Well Brian, we took the easy way out on your car by just removing the rear seatbelts instead of doing it the right way.

I still have mine, and you can keep yours-- it just requires some minor cutting with the Dremel.

plastic and some metal,

atlantamx3 · Post by **atlantamx3** » December 28th, 2003, 3:15 pm

You have to cut about 1x2 inches out of the plastic, and 2x3 inches out of the metal seatbelt bracket.

Those are rough "guesstimates" though.

Yeah Perry that seems about right. I installed my CorkSport rear strut bar and I am just leaving out the back seatbelts, its easier that way.

I kept mine, it wasnt a big deal, took maybe an hour at most...the seatbelt brackets were an easy 10 minutes to cut out with a dremel and a fireglass cuttingwheel. The plastic was a little more tricky, used a long driving wheel to eat away at the plastic...i tried to make the plastic contour the bar, which took some time, but if you cut a rectangular hole and dont wanna worry about asthetics, it should take long at all
