Would a full rsx type s seat front and back swap fit in an 03 black civic?

without buying anything extra or "making" it fit?

You'd have to modify a few things, I think. You can talk to Greg at hondawerx.com. He did it to his Civic. He doesn't have the car anymore though.

one of the bolts doesnt line up in the front

the rear bottom goes right in

i dunno about the rear back

you'll be paying for the seats too. they're almost as much as s2k seats right now

they dont bolt in there is a lot of modification to the rear and the rear seats of the RSX are lower than the Civic so youll have thet rear Civic deck sticking up farther than the seats not to mention that the rear RSX seats dont bolt up so you need to modify a bracket to fit the Civics. The RSX rear needs to have the foam cut out and restitched and covered to make it fit since the split is 60-40 on the RSX and 50-50 on the Civics. Its not an easy job to do but it can be done. The fronts dont bolt right in there is some mods to those as well but not as much.

are you the one that did the type s seats in ur ride? how much did it cost u in total

 
Rep Power: 374

No im not but i talk to Greg on a daily basis and i was gonna do the same swap. It cost about 1k for the seats front and back. As far as the install costs he has a hookup so it didnt cost him much. My advice is to get the fronts only and then wrap the back in the same leather. Im doing the S2k seats and wrapping the rear seats in S2k leather.

so how much do you think it will run me on the top of ur head to do waht u told me to do..ima get used type s seats prolly around 6-8 hundred

 
Rep Power: 374

if your doing it on your own prolly about 100 to 200 installed and everything. Thats including the rear seat conversion. If your only doing the front then just the cost of the seats then

 
Rep Power: 0

Not exactly. It's just that I usually deal with him when it comes to purchasing car parts or whenever I have questions about my car .

Is that 6-8 hundred for the front and back seats?

I believe it's the other way around .

I JUST finished swaping front RSX seats into my 03 civic coupe. It works, but requires a bit of muscle, a hammer, a dremmel or drill and a crecent wrench.

The front tabs have to be bent out a bit (use a crecent wrench), and the holes on the back tabs have to be enlongated about 1/4" to the rear.

The carpet under the tabs should be cut out a bit more than it is already.

Tighten the rear bolts about half way, then get a big heavy guy to bounce on the seats, this pushes the front down enough put the outside bolt in, then you need to use the claw of the hammer as a lever to move the front inside rail in abit from the center console, so the bolt lines up.
