Proper fitting and welding is the major part of the cost. It will be hard to route the bars to optimal points and retain the rear seat. Why not put a weight box in the trunk if you need the weight that a seat would add? I would also rethink chrome moly for the same reason. A simple 6 poiint bar will drop from about 75 lb. to about 45 lb. with CM vs. mild. A good chassis shop like S&W could weld either for similar cost. Quality workmanship and welds helps in tech, as might a prestigious name shop. Bars are not certified with stickers so you go through inspection every time.
