Back Seat Swaps??

I need RSX rear seats to match my front ones, how much fabrication (if possible) would it take to make them fit? Any input is greatly appreciated!

post pics of your front ones,... as for the backs, the best way to figure out is to take out your cl back seat and put it beside the RSX one and start measuring, I'm guessing the RSX one would be narrower since it's a smaller car...

How do you like your front ones? And how much modification was needed to make them work? I really want to get at least the driver's seat from an RSX but only if they hold you in well. I finally sat in a s2000 and they fit me like a glove so i really want that feeling

I've driven an 06 type S and the seats are awesome, the only downside is that they are leather so there is a little sliding...

Def gonna be shorter i think, not sure how well they'll fit in there, plus you'll need to mod some brackets, but I'd love to see it done

Why not just get your rear sear re-wrapped in leather to match the front, it would probably be a lot easier.

good point Mitch, I think he might want the different headrests in the rear too though

I'm expecting to have to weld new brackets to make these seats fit. We're taking over one of the bays at his work on the 23 so we can weld brackets and mount everything.

ENGINE SWAP COMING SOON!

I wonder how hard it would be to take the sliders from the front and install them in the rear.. Or even how good that would look.. As far as headrests go. Even when they rewrap the rear, they may be able to add to the foam to give a little more curvature.. Just a thought...

Im just saying this, because it may be a lot easier and IMO would look a lot better than trying to get the rsx rear to fit.

Im curious about that to. What would it look like to put another set of front seats in the back...I wonder how that would look or if its even possible, it'd be very different for sure...

Not enough room back there, but it's a good idea, with that metal divider between the trunk and center, it'd probably look shitty
