i have a chance to buy ITR front and rear seats, will they bolt right into a 98 DX coupe? i know the rear wont but i forgot what can be done to fill in the gaps.

the front seats will fit either by swapping the rails or by modifying the itr rails. i'm not sure about the rear seats in a coupe, but this is what i did when i installed rear gsr seats in my ek hatch. to fill the gaps in the rear, you can use towels to pad underneath the bench which will also raise the height up and fill the gap between the bench and the back. as for the gaps on the side of the bench, there's not much that can be done. i put some black stereo fabric in the gap to help conceal it.

EDIT: is it true that a 4 door JDM ITR seats will bolt straight up in a EK coupe?

I have ITR fronts in my 2000 Si. So to answer your question, yes ITR seats will fit in an EK coupe. All you have to do is cut off a little tab on the end of the inner ITR seat rail then cut a small notch into it. All of the bolts line up except for that one which is why you have to do this little notch trick. Maybe these links will be helpful:

I'm having the cover from the ITR rear seat modified to fit over the stock lower pad. I found a source of black suede upholstry fabric to match and the shop is charging me about $150 to do the re-stitching.

P.S. I have a TON of extra black suede that I'm not going to need. If you want some I'm very willing to sell whatever you need at cost
