When I ordered my BDR, I did not like the way the seat belts were mounted, those eyebolts with the big washers just seemed plain tacky to me(personal preference). The mounting bar on the drivers side roll bar was ok, just didn,t look right to me when the passenger side was mounted with the eyebolts. I had them leave the upper belts not mounted but I wanted all the hardware to mount. I installed the eyebolts on the bar where the rear roll bar is mounted, ran them thru the bulkhead, finished the holes off with plates from FinishLine. They look fantastic and work great. Pictures of them can be seen in my gallery. The battery disconnect switch, I had BDR to move it behind the passenger seat,looks and works great especially since it is not out in the open in the center of the bulkhead.One other thing, if you are going to use a KCR 408 motor, you will probably have to have new headers made to take advantage of the large exhaust ports and if you do have them made with bolt together flanges. That way you don't have to worry about the leaking slip fit headers. I love my BDR, the right and perfect car for me, I think it is a top of the line car, but their headers are a piece of junk(just mt opinion). Your sidepipes may be better than The ones I got, I think they ae still using the same type though, they will cost that motor(408) about 50-80 horsepower or more, something to think about later on making a better set.

GOOD LUCK
