I'll attach a pic of the header clearance around the driver side, which would be the tightest but even there, you'd have plenty of room for their standard mount...probably even more room then me due to how the front primary tubes split to go around the steering shaft. It's a little hard to distinguish in the sea of black, but if you were to move the engine forward, the tube clearance around the steering shaft would only increase and there's no other obstructions close that would interfere.

I just bought the mounts and headers for my dse sub. Setback mounts are required with the headers.

While waiting for my car to go to the body shop for trunk pan mods and front clip assembly, I installed my Digitails LED tail lights. Nice kit and super bright. The only thing I'm not too fond of is that on the Standard Camaro lens, because you have to trim the gasket away that separates the tail light from the backup light, it allows red light to "bleed" over into the white lens when the lights are on. Nothing major, I'll pull them back apart and use something to create a barrier without affecting the LED strip's need to lay flat. I tried posting a video but it's not liking the URL...anyway, here's a pic of the reverse lights. If my headlights ever fail, I can at least drive home in reverse with these babies!

Ever have one aspect of your project that you procrastinate doing because it's gonna be a pain and you know that unless you're in the "mood" to do it, it's just not gonna turn out right? Well, I've been working around, delaying and just not in the right frame of mind to deal with that God-forsaken engine fuse box for awhile now and finally got stupid thing stashed away in the glove box. Although that's been the plan all along and at times I've fabbed up brackets, etc. I never really liked where or how it looked (or the glove box door didn't shut right).
I searched high and low for other types of brackets offered but to no avail with the exception of a GM bracket that didn't offer much use as it turns out. So yesterday I ditched the GM bracket and spent some time test fitting and mounting the fuse box and I'm happy to report that it's no longer hanging from a zip tie on the passenger window crank! Now that the glove box door is back on, it's finally starting to resemble a complete interior...

It measures 3/4" clearance between the carpet and the bottom of the bracket. In my case, in addition to the thickness of the carpet (which is thin), there's a layer of Dynamat as well as a layer of 1/4" Dynaliner. The Planted brackets are pretty typical for mounting Recaros I think and there'll be maybe a little more room by the time you add the seat adjuster plus whatever open cavity there is in the bottom of the seat. Hope that helps...

Despite all my hopes and prayers, it appears I'm gonna have to do some surgery on the trunk pan corners to create enough room for the tail pipes to clear

The one time I should've cut "cut corners" on this build...anyway, now I get to do it after the fact.
Beautiful car!! Can I ask a question about your exhaust though ? I have a similar set-up with my mufflers, do you think the driveshaft will hit the drivers side muffler ?? Thanks.
