No, mine was a factory option. Contact Ric or Steve at Suncoast and they will be able to help you.

I got a Safecraft. Beautiful quality and available in colors, polished and crinkle finish. Expensive but worth it. Brey Krause makes mounts for all but adaptive sport seats and are nice quality too.

so my experience with suncoasts retrofit factory kit:
sucky!!!!
great once installled
the suncoast guys knew nothing about the installation, especially the difficulty of the installation
the factory brackets that you purchase have no threads or nuts on them, and there is no hardware included to judge how everything gets attached
the seat has to be removed in its highest position, then you have to work between the foam and baseplate to push the brackets between the seat cushion foam and the base, mind you that is after you "tapped" the holes to accept a 6mm bolt
this was not an easy process
once done it looks great, but 2 1/2 hours of labor (at 120/hr) was not the do-it-yourself that they described to me

also must have the key out at all times or the airbag light will come on and need to be reset

I put mine in and it took about 5 hours. I would have haply payed 300 bucks to have it done! Seat comes out, must peal the cushion back, drill holes on the bracket and go to the hardware store for hardware. Looks good.

there is a 5 minute solution BTW which I put in my car. Not quite as sexy as the Safecraft or stock but you can use a generic Halon bottle:

it is a nice alternative...2 points:
1. to remove the seat bolts you need a special torx nut socket...snap op!...not available at sears or home depot
2. unlike the stock setup, this will not move with the seat which for some taller drivers may be a problem

Do you have the part number for Suncoast, I can't find it. I need to get one for my friend, as I used his.
Previously, you could simply not obtain an OEM fire extinguisher unless it was ordered with your car. I was browsing Suncoast's site today and saw this OEM retro fit. A great option to go along with the nice aftermarket choices.

Of course, it looks better repainted Speed Yellow.
