just had mine too! direct swap bro, i mean not super direct, gonna work on the last bolt and you definitely need man power, the only thing you gonna need for a DIY is on SRS plug cause i havent figure out my problem yet which i think its the passenger airbig since its blown. if you dont have any blown airbag, don't foget to take the battery off aswell and do the install so you wont have any SRS LIGHT problem like me.

I belive he means for the rears. I just finished modifying mine and I just have to install them.

I took pictures and plan to make a DIY soon.

since you brought it up, it can be rear but he didnt say rear so no one knows if its rear or front. but as for rear, you definitely have to do alot of modding. ALOT!

^^^^ What needs to be done for the rears

you need take the leather off the top rears. take out the sheet pans. cut off the sheet metal. cut off the side locking mechanism connected to the sheet pan of the top rear seats. Then put the pans back into the foam and put the leather back on. you need to cut part of the foam off in order to fit flush into the rear of the back seats. just dont cut off too much unless you want your rear seats too look out of place.


The biggest pain is drilling out the spot welds. if you were a noobie like me at it, it'll take you hours.

wow sounds like to much hell for me. I will probably just get the fronts

 
Rep Power: 251

nope it isnt at all. minor mod like filing the wholes front RSX brackets (4 in total) you can make 3 fit but the last one tends to be off and thats the last one where you need to file. (i filed mine one of the rear ) and dont forget to put washer on the inner rear so the seats wont tilt inwards. (and for some reason, the driver side bolts on perfectly... well kinda.)

RSX seats 05 = sex!!

you can do it, its not difficult. its just labor intensive. it took me 6hrs because i didnt know what the hell i was doing and it was the first time i ever used a angle grinder. A pro can probably do it for you in an hr.
