All modern Hondas use the same buckle. Even if it didn't latch in, you can always swap buckle receptacles easily from seat to seat (they're held to the rail by one large bolt).
As for fitment, they are going to sit significantly higher than the stock seats no matter what you do - it's just the way they are designed. If that turns you off, then forget it.
To get them bolted in and functioning, you're going to have to do fabrication work of some sort with the slider rails and brackets - there is no way around it. If you're handy working with metal, a drill, and a welder, you'll figure it out easily yourself. If you aren't, and are unwilling/unable to learn, then I'd suggest either having someone experienced with this type of fab work do it for you, or just forgetting the idea altogether. Seats are a safety item, and cannot be halfassed or installed improperly.
You can do pretty much anything with any seat if you can fabricate. If you don't know how, there is no better time to pick up some tools and learn. Use your noggin - a little creativity and imagination will help. There is no real set way to do something like this. When I built my office chair, I looked at the seat, thought about it a bit, drew up some plans, and started drilling, cutting, welding, and bolting. There was nothing to be afraid of, and it turned out just fine:

Targa, every post I see you have replied with something either extremely helpful or inspirational. I wish there were more people like you on H-T. I'm assuming these are probably the same reasons that got you 111%.
