Default 5th gen. Taking out back seats?

Does anyone have any experience with taking out the back seats of a 5th gen and maybe swapping the front seats with Sparcos, S2000 leathers, or RSX leathers?

If anyone has any pics of a 5th gen without rear seats I would really like to see what it looks like. Thanks ahead of time....

to take out the back seat, u need ur key + some skinny fingers.
1)turn the key in the keyhole on top of the back seats, pull seat towards the front of the car and itll come out.
2) there are 2 clips under the seat cushion, 1 for driver side 1 for pass side. These are clips that u need to pull towards the front of the car as well.

as for the s2000 seats.. the brackets for the seat have 4 holes. the front 2 will line up with the prelude chassis' front 2 holes. but the rears do not. if you're comfortable w/ only 2 bolted in, leave it as is. If not, you can have your rails modified to line up with your car. I personally haven't taken a look at the rails, despite the fact that I own both cars lol

Thanks. Is there anyway you could get where the back seats where carpeted? so it looks clean? If anyone has any pics of how it would look let me know, Im planning on doing this in the next two weeks.

funny..Im about to do that to my 5gen next week..I decided to just clean the frame and leave it "uncarpeted". Im sure you could cut a small piece of carpet from your OEM interior and take it to a hobby lobby and have them match the color using felt..Then just apply with some adhesive spray
..as for the gaping hole where the seat used to cover the trunk, i'd take measurements and cut out a matching piece and then drill in that piece of thin plywood wrapped with the same felt from earlier..too much work for me tho
..try cleaning the frame, it doesn't look so bad..
