The seats come with the sliders. Are the Planted seat brackets the cheapest route for brackets? $280 seams like a lot for some seat brackets.

I would try and finish the exterior then move on to the interior! Plus, the CF hood will work nicely with your CF engine cover and ISF front bumper!!! IMO !!!

I've got the carbon fiber radiator cover coming too. I'm afraid of rain getting in those two big holes on the TS hood though.

Im not really a fan of the CF exterior parts because with it or not, the car is still gonna look great. Seats definitely

I haven't had any problems with mine. I don't even think you could really notice that water gets in there if I were to open up the hood for you.. I post a pic when I get home

If you know somebody that has a retail license (body shop, speed shop) you can get the hood of Seibon cheaper.. I think I paid $500 plus shipping.. Still came out to almost $700 though!!

I have the planted seat mount and it is pretty amazing. Took my seat out though. PM me if you want a used driver side one. Its practically new.

Do more to the outside. Then fix the interior.

I'm glad you said that because I ordered the Seibon TS hood with aerocatch carbon fiber hood pins 2 days ago! I should have my PPE headers and hood installed for Fatlace Atlanta May 10th. I did get the F-sport shift **** for the interior!
