EK rear seats
i have a 96' civic Dx and went to the junk yard the other day and saw some absolutely gorgeous rear seats that matched the pattern of my current fronts - Looked like they were 2009 - so i bought the bottom and two rear halves. They were from a 99' civic i believe - THEY DO NOT FIT - the little metal u's if you want to call them are in different locations and i have not even checked out the two upright sections to see if they'd fit. Does anyone know anything about this????

Re: EK rear seats
I vaguely remember something crazy like 96 being slightly different than 97-00 or something..I don't know. I am sure that is not correct. But I thought I read something crazy like that. Hopefully someone can chime in who knows for sure what the deal is.

Re: EK rear seats
the only difference between the 96 and 97-00 is a side impact beam that sits under the rear seat right in the front on all 97-00 hatches.

Re: EK rear seats
So are you saying that rear leathers out of a DC Coupe will fit perfectly in a cvic coupe? I have RSX leathers in the front and I've been searching for rear leathers that match and fit perfectly. Any suggestions? (sorry to thread jack)

Re: EK rear seats
They fit but not absolutely perfect. They still look awesome. My bro had a full set of GSR leathers front and rear in his 99 EK hatch.

Re: EK rear seats
just take them apart and swap the metal brackets on the cushions and zip tie them back to the metal bracket, thats how i did my itr rear seats cuz the metal bars or hinges would fit right.
