Default Swapping seats

Alright, I gotta 97 Prelude, with the tan/black interior

I wanted to put some 4th gen front seats in my car, I figure it's possible, but if its a big hassle then I dont want to bother.

So my question is, what seats, if any, swap smoothly into a 5th gen lude?

Thanks

Aftermarket seats, with the correct brackets, would bolt up perfectly, as that is what they would be meant to do.

I'm pretty sure the 4th gen seats wouldn't work in the 5th gen though.

You can make them fit. I have 4th gen seats in a 74 super beetle, I am sure you can make them fit a 5th gen prelude.

I've got a set of 4th gen prelude seats that i have been very tempted to re-apolster in black to put in my 5th gen lude. the 4th gen's are designed by recaro, so they kick some ***. if you (or anyone) are interested in getting them i'll let you have them for $175...they are Navy but in excelent condition. email me (Aldexw5@adelphia.net) if you want them i'd be willing to deliver them or meet you somewhere if you are on the east side of the US.
