Sometimes I'll see you post in Ramblings or Car Talk about how you're thinking about buying V or a Genesis, and then you go and pull this shiz

I want something with more than that too. I'm looking at some corbeau seats. Either the a4 or lg1 I think they were? I want something with thigh, side and shoulder for track days yet I can sit in daily . I'd love to get a set of the new cooled 4gtl seats though. I like the ability to cool over heat. Especially when spending 8 plus hours a day in the car

Yea know the 4g seats arent high on the bolsters but the cooling part makes up for it.
Yes the cr1 in either suede or leather.

Looks awesome just finished reading through the entire thread. 
Apparently I should have started at like page 11 or something like that though. 
I hate that Acura puts these together like that rather than using screws. I really want to have the inserts done on my TSX but don't want to drill out the plastic rivets. I assume you looked into it and you can't buy new plastic rivets?
I have been thinking of doing cooled seats with my Recaro seats since I have the Sportlines which come with the option for cooling. There is a location on them that looks like a mounting place for a mini fan kind like an 80 or 90mm computer case fan almost. I am thinking of directing the rear seat A/C duct up at the bottom of the seat and installing a PC case fan on the bottom and connecting the controls to the old heated seat controls. Not sure if I could make use of it being a high low setup at all but still would be pretty neat. Only problem is their would be no way to turn it off completely lol.

No, you cant buy them. They are a molded part of the panel. Drilling the heads off and refastening them with epoxy isnt hard. Dont let it discourage you.
Yea cooled seats are nice. I like the acura seats. They actually Pull air away from you instead of pushing. It worked extremely well.

Need to get it road worthy first anyways.That is an interesting concept for the seats. I wonder if that is maybe the intentions of the fan mount on the bottom of my Recaro seats as well. That would make more sense but I don't know how I would have a powerful enough pull from just an 80 or 90mm fan.

no there usually isnt enough to screw into. Once melted to create the rivet there isnt enough material on the door panel to screw to. epoxy works well and is easy.
