Default who needs jdm? what do you guys think?

well i need a back seat to haul around my kid, and i didn't want to pay $300+ for a jdm one. so with a little imagination and a 92-95 ex coupe back seat i came up with this. it cost me a total of $20 (box of razor blades, angle aluminum, staples and wood). beats the hell out of buying jdm. tell me what you guys think.

Looks pretty clean! Do you have rear seat belts in there as well?

Hey man, the seats look incredible. If you could post up directions, and or pics of how the heck you did that. I would, and I am sure others would really love the information

thanks for the good replys guys...and it was by far not a direct bolt in. the factory rear seat from the 92-95 coupe is huge, lotsa cutting and custom stuff. the kid will be very safe, some serious bolts going on in that seat. i have to pull it back out to readjust some of the cusions and i will get some pics of how it was done. i only had the hook up on this one seat. a friend of mine gutted his 95 ex, and he gave it to me to try my idea. again thanks for the support.

I know people around me that would just buy it for the look not even the functionability.
