If you want to see photos check ebay. The later model ones have a slightly different pattern to the leather, the seat shape is the same. That is a good price, I picked up my RSX seats for $285. But I did get to sell off the back seat and floormats for some extra loot back.

Its going to be a PITA to get those things in your car. The rails are the same width apart as the 4th gen preludes, but it mounts entirely differently. If you are crafty you could probably get the front to match up, but you still have to grind of the back mounts and weld new ones on.

Lets see who gets theirs done first huh?

EDIT:
You're in Philly and I'm right over the bridge in NJ... any chance you want ot help me with mine?

lol im not planning to put myne in for a little while. my car is in a very cramped garage at the moment and i cant get it out to install the seats because it doesnt run. so before i help anyone i would rather do it myself first just to point in the right direction. but if anything let me know when ur planning to give it a try and we can try them out together.

EDIT:

Its the backs that match up not the front

Are you putting them in a 4th gen or a fiver?

When I had my passenger seat out, the angle of the brackets in the front was too vertical (viewed from the side). The bracket is just shy of 100 degrees. These brackets were re-enforced on the sides. I'm guessing you could cut a notch out, heat them and bend them to about 110 or 120 degrees to fit the lude floor. Anyway, those are just guesses, not exact measurements.

Well you still may beat me to it... I have had these seats since Feb. I'll shoot you a pm when I'm ready to tackle the seat project. I actually had a friend who would be willing to fab the thing if I coudl get the rails off the bottom as he does not want to trasnport a whole seat. We'll see.

Regardless of the install, definitely get those seats, they look great and are very comfortable.
