I traded a guy a couple weeks ago to get these seats. They are 90-91 CRX SI seats. I knew they wouldnt just bolt in but whats the fun in that....? They werent too bad to make work. I used Civic outer rail and CRX inner rail. Then modded the CRX rails. A bit of cutting an welding but I got it finished.
I DEF like them more than the crappy DX seats. Little more lumbar support and they just look better!!
They look a bit dingy in the pics but they look great in person. Im happy how they came out.

i had no idea you needed all that work to make them work it only took about 20 mins with a air compressed dremel to get my gsr seats to fit like oem no seat pan swaps no rail swaps all i did was make the hole a little larger as 3 bolt up perfect but the last one is a bit off

I wish it was that easy!! I could have gotten away with enlarging the front hole but it was 13mm off and that would have been a pretty big slot. The rear was a totally different mounting point so it was completely cut off and redone.

Oh I really wasnt looking for a particular year or anything. I just liked the way they looked and made them work.
