Has anyone thought or done this.. my seats are starting to get kinda old i was wondering if anyone know if the 3g tl seats will fit in to our 2g i have the type s

 

I bet they will, but i dont know how compatible the side airbag system will be. That and the DPMS

 

dpms???

 

driver position memory seats???

 

i've been wanting to do that as well.....the 3rd gen seats look so much nicer.....

 

Yeah they may look nicer but they are uncomfortable as hell. i would put the CL-S seats in my car before i put the 3G TL seats in my car.

 

just take to a car upholstery place and get them to re-do the seats. get them to add more padding and cooling/massage to them too.

 

X2

 

 

I found them to be Very Comfortable. Much more so than my TL-P seats

 

i think the 3g seats look nice and i like the bolstering (i think thats how to spell it) i drove my friends several times i love how it kept me hugged.

 

while on the subject i can get a set of cl seats but they are perforated leather should i put em anyway or try to find some that are not perforated......

 

slightl off topic but would the tl-s seats fit in a 00 tl? the acura dealershps can seem to give me a straight answer?

 

been thinking about this lately since my dog scratched up my leather . How much modification was needed to fit the CL-S seats? I can't seem to locate kman's thread. Do you guys think the rear seats would fit as well?

 

The TL-P seats are different than the TL-S seats are you trying to replace the TL-P seats and if so i would suggest Putting the 02 TL-S seats in the TL-P much more comfortable. Also the rear headrest's in the TL-S are so comfortable. i don't know about the CL-S rear seats though.

 

i want to put the 3g seats in to a 03 type s i wonder if the plug is the same and airbag issue..... im gonna see if i can take a peak at the dealer under the seat..

i just looked up the type s seats on the cl those look good too

i wonder if those are plug and play with the srs and the memorey seats if so where can i get my hands on some perferated ones

 

njzprettyboy has CL (not sure if they're Type S) seats in his TL. On AW, I asked him if they needed any crazy modifications to fit them in and he said:

 

did you mean this one.....https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40469

 

hm, interesting. wonder if the 3rd gen rear seats will fit. I'm surprised no one has gone with an aftermarket option yet.

 

Aftermarket? Like a sparco seat?
Yeah that wouldn't look ricer at all in a 4-door luxury car :ghey:

 

Too many comments on this subject someone just let me know if you do any one of these ideas. Will have to add to my to do list if it works.

 

Does anyone here know how much a pair of CL-S seats, preferably in black, would run from a scrap yard or something of the sort?

 

i would just get them off of ebay or go to a honda recycler. the problem with getting leather from a scrapyard is it will probably need to be repaired. but for the integra leather seats were about 500$ for the whole set. (remember for an integra) so i would double if not tripple that cost.

 

We are talking about the 3rd gen seats. Also the TL-P seats are to most, more comfortable than the type-s seats.

You guys need to use the search button. the CL seat and TL-S seat swap has been discussed/tried/done

better than a scrap yard

 

^^too bad thats from miami.........not to far from my house either......

 

i went to a dealer not to far from my work test drove the g35 coupe i thought it sucked..


I also sat in a type s cl i love the seats i think they are nicer then the 3g now i just need to get my hands on some

 

If the 3rd gen seats fit, I would would try for the 07 TL-S, I like the two tone for some reason.

Off topic, but fsttyms1, I like the new avatar, very cool. Looks almost like Batman from the SNES games.

 

good thought.

thanx

 

getting cooling put in isn't quite that easy. i wish it were though because that would be very very nice.

 

What would installing a cooling system in the seats entail? I've been thinking about it for a while now, but don't want to compromise comfort for cooled seats. I thought about tapping the air ducts that run through the center console and running some vents through the cushion, but that's just an accident waiting to happen. Using a chill mat would work but it would have to be easily removable in the winter and I don't know if having that under the seat would affect the SRS system at all. Hell even placing a couple 120mm CPU case fans inside the foam of the seat back would be nice for some air flow, just hook them to a potentiometer to adjust speed.

It's too tempting to not at least attempt something, especially here with the Texas heat in the summer, not too bad this year but my back still ends up sticking to the seat.

Any other ideas? Sorry for straying off topic.

 

I would say just cap and reduct the floor vent under the seat to the seats so you get that cooling effect. just use accordian syle vent. you know the one that scrunches up kind of like a dryer duct. thats how i would do it.

 

Saw this when I got in my car a few days ago. It was in the shade.


Routing the A/C to the seats doesn't seem like a bad idea...

 

Well, if I ever find the time to mess with it I'll be sure to take a shit load of pics and do a little write up

 

You don't even know im in minnesota and its been like that for a week no rain my car sits in the driveway in the sun . So I can relate to you, everytime I get in my skin starts to melt and I break a sweat after 5min.
