Default Quick question: Do GSR leather seats fit in a Del Sol?

If so, are they just bolt-on? or do I have to replace the tracks?

If not, anyone recommend some good leather seats for a Sol?

thanks for the help

No they don't. You have to buy an aftermarket leather kit and have it reupholstered.

WRONG.

They're rare, but do exist direct from Honda. There's actually a set available locally for $200 or so.

They were never available as factory equipment or as an accessory in the US. You're the one who is mistaken.

Yes, they bolt up. I don't know the clearance between the rear firewall and the back of the seat. Del Sol seats are thinner than GSRs.

Edit: They don't bolt up to a Del Sol. I checked my rails and Del Sol rails and they are slightly different. The holes in the back are both flat, while the GSR is half flat/half bent.

Pics are down but they do exist (just was looking at them a month ago). I'll ask him to re-host them if possible.

So YOU'RE the one who's mistaken.

You know, it's possible that they are reapoulstered. It's my understanding (from research and going to dealers while looking for my car) that Honda did not offer leather seats in any Civic model, but almost all dealers would have them installed for you as an option.

I went to http://www.slhondaparts.com, and checked the seats for all year sols, and there was only cloth seats available, no listing for leather.

It's possible, but I haven't seen anywhere that says they were offered from the factory. Sure you could get a brand new one from the dealer with leather (a local dealer had a 7th gen with leather seats), but that doesn't mean it's OEM.
