Default To buy or not to buy

So I hit a local junk yard today and found some MINNNNNT 95 Prelude seats(the nice bucket seats) Should I pick them up and swap them into my 95 Civic? And what do I need to do to swap them in? Just change the rails from my old seats onto the prelude seats? And advice will be greatly appreciated...

if it's not JDM, it's not worth it.

Its really up to you and your taste. Im not sure if its a direct swap or not. You'll need all the rails and stuff. If you really like the seats, then get them. I was lucky and found a mint GSR driver seat at the junkyard and I bought it for only 30

I was being sarcastic. What's wrong with your 95 seats?

Well they are the ones that came with the car. So they are 13 years old and the foam has gotten pretty worn and they just arent that comfortable, I checked these ones out and they are plently cushiony and surprisingly in better condition then mine.

The guy that owned it before me was a fatty too. So he may have killed the seats.

And I get the sarcasm now. Because of my avatar I get it. Im changing it to a pic of my car soon. No more JDM for me!

My friend jsut swapped some prelude seats into his EK, and they went in with just a simple swap of the rails, So my guess is that is should be that simple for a EG as well.

Prelude seats are NIIIIICCCCCEEE along with Del Sol seats. I know that they fit, but I forgot what you had to do to make them fit. If they are cheap $150 and under, go for them.

I use to own a 92 lude si. and took alot of road trips in it. and those were the only seats that after 8 hours of driving, I didn't feel like I was road hard and put away wet. Very comfortable especially for someone 6'3"
