Mines trimmed up pretty high. I trimmed the fender down with a dremel and used a deburring tool to make the edges look factory again, then mounted the plate right below the tail light. As for the seat release I went and bought a manual choke cable, hooked it up to the release and terminated it at a button I installed under the front seat, you can reach it by slipping your finger into the spot where the front seat bolts are, but if you don't know what your looking for you'd never find it. The whole thing turned out nice and clean and I never really liked the whole keyed entry rear seat deal to begin with.
