Havent found a lot of info on this. Some talked about having to drill/tap, which for seatbelts is never advised, you want structural stock locations. I was able to use stock mounting locations, not drill anything, save a good amount of weight, and gain some convenience. I know some people say auto seatbelts are cool but theyre probably convincing themselves of that more than the other person. Theyre more of a hastle really. So first and foremost Id like to say, you have to cut your plastics, trim carpet, and basically do some light finessing to make these work. They wont look perfect or show quality unless you can get some plastic from a canada car.
First things first, take out your plastics/baskseat (just the bottom) remove the wheel well plastics that cover rear speakers, the uppers by the rear quarter windows, and then the pieces that the auto seatbelts track. These are pretty much all pop off fittings so just carefully pull/pry. You also need to remove front seats, and lift the center console.

You'll be using the 1G receptacles on the 1G seats, so leave those there, THE REST CAN ALL GO!!!
This is almost everything you'll take out, there is also a seatbelt module, on the drivers side, that you must unplug or your seatbelt will flash after this.

So on top of the upper tracks, youll also be removing the rods that hook to the inner area of the seats, and brackets on the outside of either seat, like I said keep the receptacles only. Lift the center console, and remove the 17mm bolts holding the shoulder belt straps. I went ahead and put the bolts back in here so there would be opening to the outside.

These are the only part of the 2G seatbelts you need to mod. These are the retractors that you mount down low.

You need to trim the wood that the carpet is hooked to, and slightly trim the carpet so it goes around this belt

This square for the retractor
and here for the belt. Just use your judgement here. It wont look perfect, but you dont want it rubbing on the belt
