first how are you going to be paying? Cash, Check, or Money order?

hmmm... where do you live? I never messed with changing out honda seats, but just put evo 8 seats in a 1g eclipse... wasn't fun, so figuring this probably won't be much harder... Do the brackets line up at all? can you take the rails from one seat and put them on the other? (we had to fabricate every bracket)

cash, i'm in clay co. the brackets doesn't line up. the mounting points on the floor of my hatch are space wider then the ep3 sliders on the two front holes. the rear mount space close to the door, the slider mount doesn't go over that bump. and the other floor mount spot the slider mount is too short to reach the floor mount spot at the center of the car. i just tried to switch out the whole bracket from my hatch seat to the ep3 but the side brackets are different so none of the screw holes even come close to each other. looks to me the best way to do it is to cut off the mount bracket off the ep3 sliders and weld in new ones to match up to the floor mount spots on my hatch. if there's any other way i would love to know.

requires making a custom bracket, involving cutting and welding..
