Default Do all USDM DC5 seats have side airbags?

Guys,
I recently got DC5 black cloth seats for my EG from a shop that imports swaps and clips from Japan. They look just like these, minus the side airbags:

My question is... were side airbags an option for USDM DC5s, or standard? I ask because most if not all the pics of RSX seats I find online have the side airbags on them. Perhaps mine don't because in the Japanese market they were an option?

Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for confirming. I'll see if I find a few minutes to snap a picture tonight and post it here. I am actually getting ready to sell these because I just picked up a set of ITR front and back seats that bolt right into my hatch, so I don't have to make a custom bracket to fit these in my car. These seats are in much better shape and look better, though.

Yes, from a safety standpoint, no doubt. But every little pound saved counts for most people, especially in cases like mine when you'd be replacing the lighter EG seats with these.

In canada the side air bags were an option for the base model. In the US, they are standard on all trim levels.

In the US, ep3 side airbags were an option.

Thanks Bro. You don't agree with my statements in the Ad?
Please let me know honestly, I would be glad to edit the Ad if I am wrong in any way.
All I know is that I got these from Honda Kings in South Florida the day I got my swap (they get cargos from Japan every few weeks) and that I've yet to see black cloth DC5 seats without side airbags.

Thanks for any and all clarifications.
