The red car is Brian's car (I think). Taken in 2008 or so. The second picture is my car going together. It did not originally have a shorty console. The bolt in the blue tape is where the front was attached.

With the drivers seat in you can then place the shorty console where you want it and drill while the passenger's seat is out. Do you have the rear bracket for under the shorty console ?

i noticed on you seat bolts they are protruding through the carpet .If you install it like this the carpet will cover the seat brackets and you cant see them.just cut an L shape in the carpet. Thats what the factory did and most people just set the seat on the carpet.Just a suggestion Thanks again
