A hawkeye STI, a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats out of a Juke Nismo, and the question of what mounts them. The Planted bracket and Recaro runner we would use, and why Garreth wants photographs before anyone orders anything.

A six foot five bodybuilder with a 34 inch waist and a big upper back needs a tall, wide shouldered shell that is still standard at the hips. Why the XL seats are the wrong answer, and the four fixed back buckets we would put him in.
