I had to cut the mounting brackets off and raise them an inch front and rear. The seats sit the same height as my old ones minus the lean to one side. It wasn't hard to do but it is time consuming while your figuring out how to do everything.

Looks sweet,
When you say you "redid it" do you mean you covered the metal or you pulled out the old liner and recovered it?
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, looks like you just covered the roof??

When I cut my fenders I had to ditch the plastic liner that is in the wells. I got tired of the wind blowing through my doors and mud getting on my hinges so I decided that the best thing to use was spray foam. I just painted over it to blend it in. Here are some pics to show you what I'm talking about. And yes my flares are zip tied on. Lol

I just saw your post about the heat without carpet. Solved my issue with the muffler heat by installing a piece of duct sheetmetal between muffler and floorpan. It reflects near 100% of the heat. Still get some heat from the trans tunnel but its amazing what the $4 mod did for comfort. I havent done any coating on floorpan.
