then thanks to a Hit and Run it looked like this

And all i got was this http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1136.snc4/149807_10150094763783185_667838184_6958218_625962_ n.jpg

This damage was cause by me hitting a K rail sideways at about 60mph pirouetting over it then flipping 3 times down the hill to land diver side door facing the sky leaning against a chain link fence. I crawled out the driver side door and cut my arm on the barbed wire fence. But that is all that happened.

But the new dream has begun with my new 06 WRX
mods so far are a TEIN S-tech springs ,Invida Turbo back exhaust, Injen CAI, Apexi turbo timer and STI front tower brace.

no leads all I saw was head lights then i was sideways and when i saw the k rail i hugged myself and said here we go. I learned to hold your self from the racing vids I watch if you hold onto the steering wheel the airbag or wheel will hurt you. I saw the air bags go off when the first flip hit the ground but they did not touch me as my seatbelt had lock all ready. I felt no pain until about a day later then I was sore for about a week.

do to this seat being so wide. we had to remove the plastic covering the drive side a-pillar.

Took about 4 hours of mocking up , tacking and welding. to get everything all done. But man is the seat solid no play at all. And I like the new lower stance of the seat I can fit in side with a helmet and probably have room even when i put a roll cage in.

Need to custom 2-tone it silver/black like your OEM seats, but it looks sick! :thumbsup:

Maybe we will see Brian. I also am going to buy some more padding for it so it will be more comfortable for DD.
