Since the crooked seat angle applies to the driver side seat. I.e.

Per real oem, they are different part numbers which may solve for the crooked seat issue.
If that doesn't work, I also manage to find a junk set of driver side seat rails. I am going to try to widen/elongate the holes at the rail to give more degrees of freedom to angle the seat dead center. Then I'll clamp down the seats with larger washers.
stay tuned for pics!

I had never noticed the seat was a bit crooked until your post (DAMN YOU! lol). So while I dont feel the need to do anythign about it, Im genuinely curious what your tests turn up. Keep us posted! Even those who dont feel the need to "fix it" can still learn a thing or two about how the cars are built / subtle differences between versions and frankly thats kinda interesting to some of us.
