thanks. no I didn't have a problem installing the bar LoOod. but there's three things to remember though. first, you have to grind some metal off the base of the hood support . second, scrape off the factory glue/sealant on top of the strut tower, doing these ensures the base of the strut bar is mounted flat on the tower. third, you have to move the wiper motor electrical connectors (just let it hang below the motor), it'll be a tight fit. the strut bar bolt (passenger side) will be right up against the motor housing. i think the installation overall is fairly easy. one thing i notice though is that under hard acceleration, the air filter housing clamps rubs against the bar (minor scratch). about the seats, they're from the coupe model and they have the exact mounting points as the regular seats.
