Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

Hey everyone - I found some leather seats from an RSX Type S 2003. Will they fit no problem in my 2003 civic EX coupe?

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

What model civic is that (year and model)? Did you have to modify anything at all to make them fit? Guy who is selling has them in a 2005 civic and said one of the holes doesnt line up and would have to drill it out a lil...dsnt line up perfectly.

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

What have you done to that interiour?

Also what dials are you using? and as above what needed to be done to get them to fit, also do you know if they'll go on an 01 civ?

^ and the E brake lever.

I didnt realize the whole dash fit with the stock door panels. HMM. Interesting. If my air bags blew I'd do that, but in that picture, it looks like the passenger air bag isnt connected. ...2009specialk- do you have any pics of the back seat as well with the center console going back?

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

I had no idea you could put the whole RSX dash in. Thats pretty cool. All that car needs is a RSX or EP3 steering wheel and its complete.

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

you can install ANY seat you want. all you have to do is mount the slider rails to the seat. also, almost anything off the RSX will mount on a em2...

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

That is NOT a 7th gen. civic. its an RSX...the only thing similar is the ebrake handle..the whole rest of the car is an RSX..trust me...i worked at both Acura AND Honda dealerships the last 4 yrs.

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

Do you know about 8th Gen Civics? I have a 2009 and the seats suck, I want to put RSX seats in it but don't know what years will fit.

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

have no idea, chances are they are different. but ask around 8thcivic.com see if anyones done it. rsx leather seats are so cheap on ebay theres a driver seat going for $235 shipped. the only reason i decided against it is the weight, over 50 lbs i hear since they have side airbags too.

Your really funny cause those are em2 doors so its a em2 with dc5 conversion (its really nice but looks like it would take some time to DIY)

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

removing a few bolts. some say the fourth bolt doesnt line up with the car frame, others have gotten it to fit fine or just had to drill the bracket hole a tad bigger. its a very easy swap. the side airbag wont work unless you already have side airbags. leather seats are very heavy too over 50 lbs each.

Re: Acura RSX-Type S Seats in my Civic

i like the seats but i don't think i want the leather, especially living out in nevada in the desert...seems like they would require alot of upkeep to keep them from cracking from the sun and what not
