go to carxpressions.com and buy some brackets, its worth it...they're like 30-35 bucks a piece...what kind of seats did u buy, my tenzo's came with a spot to mount the oem seatbelt , but i didnt hook it up, i just plugged everything back in with the oem seat belt buckle hiding under the seat where it cant be seen

what did you guys do about the airbag sensor wire?? i know if you run it without connecting it, it will throw a airbag code. or is there someway to bypass it

you need some universal brackets like he said. make sure to disconnect wires under the seat , than once you have your seats pulled out unbolt the stock seatbelt holders bolt them on. In reality its very very easy to instal new seats.
Almost if not as easy as an air intake.

ok thanks guys. i guess i have to order brackets. but i still ahve no idea how to mount the seat belt

also, is the bracket selling at carxpressions.com universal? will my seats able to bolt on them?????? thanks a lot guys

okay for the seat belt, you can directly unbolt it from your current seats.
very easy be carefully doing this becuase that long black shaft part says explosive

. anways once you get your brackets you might need to bend the tip just a little on the part that inserts into the bracket so you can get a tight fit.
I just bent it slightly on the cement than torque it in. note: nothing fits like it should with aftermarket parts ever!
just make sure bracket says universal or you can order a pair through tenzo. They are extremely cheap.
Like I said remember only four bolts and 2 plugs in removing the seat.
Remove plugs under the seat first. They can be reused with your buckets so your SRS light doesnt go on.
