A few tips.
1. I'm pretty sure they did not account for powder coat because I had to pull everything thing back out and use the Dremel to sand off the power coat so the parts would fit into one another. Once I cleaned off the powder coat, it went together no problem.
2. The directions neglected to show the step of having to use the body saw to cut some of the side panel where the supports attach to the seatbelt mount on the floor. I'm not sure if this was a minor change on the 2020s but none the less, you have to cut some of the panel as pictured.
3. Overall it would have been a 2 hour install if not for having to wrestle with trying to fit the pieces together then giving up and pulling it all out and using the Dremel to knock off the powder coat in the notches.
4. If you have the seat delete, a 2" hole saw made short and clean work of the seat delete and it's the perfect size to fit the mount through.
5. Measure several times to make sure you get the holes where you need them. I think my holes are about 1/4" to 1/2" too low but oh well.
Now that it's in, it feels very sturdy with zero flex or wiggle.

Power coating and mating surfaces. Most times require clean up. If in the threads, thread chaser is real handy .

Looks like a nice piece, do they offer any other colors? :champagne:

I traded my factory rears for his CFTP seat delete, +$1,000, and he paid a shop to do the swap. I think a fair trade. So I got a seat delete and $1,000 and did not have to do the work.

They are unobtainium as you know, deal or not, good score.
