they look ok.. althought the ebay seats my cuzn has in his teg arent nowhere near as comfortable as the recaros i had in my maxima. i think mine were memory foam or something *bought them used* and the ebays are jus regular foam like the oem car seat.

Looks like a waste to me.
I'd hold out and save my money to buy something decent. A seat is where you spend all of your time driving.

I had those seats in my Si.. but they were all solid red. They were OK... nothing fancy. If you are going for comfort then I wouldn't get those but if you are going for looks then go for it.. I sat down really low and mine didnt adjust up or down they just had the sliders.. but it looked good, but after awhile they started to get uncomfortable.

Yup, or any other name brand seat. How do you think the cheap ebay seats will hold up in a crash??

Those cheap ones don't flip forward to allow access to the back seats either. They've got little adjustment wheels instead of the lever on stock honda seats. If you want someone to get in the back they'd better be skinny.

did you not look at the pic it has a lever. I have similar seats off ebay and they work great. for the price you can't beat it in my mind. Everyone is so negative about ebay. some stuff is cheap crap. just read the discription and look closely at the photos.
