^hmmm, i am very interested if they're gonna be fully functional folding seats
if not then i'd say keep the cl ones, they're nice enough IMO
i've seen DIY's where they put those in other cars, but they seem to not fit most cars that they've put them into (civic, integra) there's always gaps either on the side or height wise
good luck tho and keep up posted

Those look really nice with black suede you put in the dash. I wonder if you could dye the rear seats black?

I don't think you could use the folding feature of the rear RSX seats anyways since there's a metal support welded across. You'd have to cut it out.

don't the rsx rear seats bolt up differently since they fold down?
the bottom seat part would probably be fine tho

the rear seats are being screwed into the that brace deal behind the oem rear seats from the trunk side behind the carpet so no screws will be visible, then the rear dash /deck is being covered in suede and a facial (like for speaker boxes) is getting made so there will be no gaps, but no the seats wont fold down

^alright, as long as they work out for you, did you test fit them yet to make sure they'll fit pretty close?
would've been so sick to have them fold down tho, i may have to try and do something like this myself, altho i am terribly lazy
good luck with the seats tho

take a picture of the rears. I'd think the CL rears would be bigger than the RSX's

THey look great, you should wrap some more stuff in suede so they don't clash with the tan so much
