Coming soon: The rsx rear seat diy to end all!!!!! Split folding

Ok so heres the deal. Im going to post a diy real soon just letting everyone know that as of about 8 tonite I successfully installed rsx rear seats in my car and they are fully folding functional. heres the catch you can only fold them 40% or 100%. Basically anyone wondering how i did it I took the frame out of the civic seat and painted it flat black then cut the rsx seats and zip tied them to the civic frame. The result is you are now able to fold your rsx rear seats. This also keeps them snugly in place. They are not 100% complete. I still have to make 2 foam pieces one to fill the gap in the bottom and one to cover the tops of the civic frames. After that The car will look like it came with rsx seats stock. I will mod anyone's rear rsx seats to fit their civic if they are serious about it. honestly this took a ton of work probably 8+ hours but some of that was waiting for stuff to dry

Re: Coming soon: The rsx rear seat diy to end all!!!!! Split folding

o and just some info i pulled the leather tigher on the driver side. It just looks really slack there because it wasnt tucked in at the sides. Looks just like passenger side now. Im lovin them. I still have to make a suede pillow type piece thing to fill the bottom and one to fill the top and cover the flat black frame. so far tho im lovin it. O and in those pics i hadnt zip tied them middle on the passenger side so thats why they look like they arent lined up rite. but they are done now and everything works perfect.
