At first wasn't really feeling the gauges but they look great lit up and definitely feeling the s2k/RSX hybrid interior. How much fabrication did you have to do for the RSX rears to go in?

Real easy you guys. For the s2k seats to go in, I actually welded my own custome bracket and then weldelded to s2k rails, so seats them self were not modified. The rsx in the back was also cake. The rears snap right into place with the stock latches on the side. But you must have the rear cargo cover for them to work, because that is what helps hold them into place. The bottom part of the seats is the issue. The seats are longer in width (front to back) and shorther in lenght ( driver side to passenger side), so first u cut foam underneath seat so that the sit flush and clear your gas hose where you pump gas, and then you just insert seat belt. Latches which helps hold seats in place. If you notice on one of the pics of rear seats, you can see a bit of red on the side. I was going to lay down black carpet to cover it up, but haven't gotten to it
