you need to swap both rails on both seats. My friend with a 96 coupe has this. The seats will also make you sit a bit lower.

so the rails that are on my civic seats will bolt up to the del sol seats? then they will just fit and bolt right back in? the seat belts and such will fit right?

$75!!! That's it..... Nice deal.....
Mine look just like yours but the stripe is the same color as the rest of the seat. I got mine from the junkyard for $200.

its an easy install bro, no sweat. i was 15 when i put mine in

i got them from a honda friend (his dad fixes wrecked hondas). i always get oem parts from him so he hooked me up. i originally wanted the red striped seat, but he said $75 and i couldnt resist.

These seats are the ones with better fabric IMO. Holds up much better than the thin soft material used on the other models.

I like GSR seats better personally. I dont like the big stripe down the middle of the sol seats. Personal preference i guess.

ive never been a big fan of leather... cold in the winter and hot\sticky in the summer.

gsr seats are just like civic seats. it looks like a civic si seat basically. there's no real advancement if you ask me. sit just as high, and look the same.

Hey JV thanks for the helpfull how to on installing the Del Sol seats, I just did it today and it took me about an hour to install both, well it was more like 40 min for the first and and 20 min for the second...

Your pictures were very helpfull and everything went smoothly, its gonna take me awhile to get used to the new seats though, they are extreme compared to stock EK seats!!!
