Looks good.  You should post a couple of your photo's here, for others.
I installed a set of Bombz seats in my tracker.  They just barely fit with the wider console I am using, but seem to be very comfortable to set in and hold you in place better.

The rig looks good!

The only thing very wrong are your seat mounts.  The way you have it is completely unsafe.  If the rig never sees pavement then no worries, otherwise I would change it.  Those bolts aren't near thick enough to withstand the pressure that would be on them on an accident.

Yea i love the seat's there very soft and hold you in place very well even in tight corners or going down steep drops i love them

which bolts were you referring to? the ones going though the circular aluminium Spacer?

Yes, those spacers aren't safe.  Like I said if you only drive it offroad, no worries, otherwise I'd change it.

As it appears you are using the seat mounts for your seat belt/4 point mounts, you might want to strengthen it up with some cross braces also.  Safety harnesses should be mounted to roll cages or through the body, and the seat mounting bolts (to the body) are not near as strong as factory seat belt mounting bolts.  Is the board for spacing also?
(Just trying to help you stay safer, these darn things can even roll over right behind your house.  And it helps if you are using the 4 points then.)

I cut down the outside Zuki mounts, and mounted the rails on other side direct to Bombz seat mount, and I am using stock seat belts mounting points.  I had to go back and add another mounting pad where it bolts to car, so I could move it outwards.  (my new console was just a little wider.)  http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/install-new-seats-93-tracker/ (http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/install-new-seats-93-tracker/)  When that is your complete safety system, you don't want coming apart.

Where did you get the logo and how much did it run?
