I think the seat is a lot stronger than the floorpan. In the NX it is thicker and a has a 90 bend in it, much better than the flat floor. The big problem you run into then is that it sets the main hoop more towards the rear of the car and then you have to get creative with the door bars. The work was done by Steve Scott out in LA.
Shoot, it is a race car, you gotta get rid of that stuff. It makes a difference, too. With a stock weight of about 2440 lbs, the NX is down to 2170 with 1/8 tank of gas and no driver. There's probably another 100 lbs I can take out and I still have the stock steel hood.
