It's a completely new chassis...I'm pretty sure this will have to be some kind of a custom install. Maybe someone will chime in that knows more than I.
Plus...they say 'Si' on them.
You might be better trying to install the 02-05 Si seats.

The new Si seats are cheap. The cover material feels cheap, like the old EF hatchback seat coverings. Give those seats 70K tops and they will have torn bolsters from entry/exit and the seatbelt rubbing. The EP3 seats seem (at least cover wise) to be much better quality. The cover of the EP3 seats seems to be nearly identical to the DC2R seats. I have seen DC2Rs with 140K+ and the only issue with the seat covering is that the faux suede becomes shiny and smooth instead of "furry". Your RSX seats are probably better than the FG Si seats.

Still not understanding why you'd want seats that have 'Si' stitched on them in a RSX...

Speaking as someone who has had both, the Si seats are FAR superior to the RSX seats. They DO NOT let you move when you are driving hard. I had almost 50k miles when my car died and the seats still looked like new. WAY more comfortable too. The mesh makes it very soft while the suede-esque(sp?) sides hold you in as if they had you clasped in talons. Plus the headrest is in a MUCH better position to hold your head at its natural angle of vision (meaning when you lean your head back you aren't looking straight down to see out the windshield)
