Default Put Del sol seats in my ITR today :(

Yes you read correctly. Today I changed out my Mint ITR seats for a set of beat to **** Delsol red stripe seats.


Why you ask?

Well bc I ordered a set of Recaros from an importer and they aren't here yet, and my oem seats a co worker paid for in full so I decided to give them to him and not make him wait another week.

But while the seats were out I did manage to clean the ever living **** out of my carpet and rear seats so thats a good thing.

Im also going to re tint the back windshield dark as **** to prevent fading on the tops of the rear seats.

Pics to come.

Lol at least im not the only one.


It took me for ever to find a set of nice ones. I ended up calling an importer in canada and he put together a mint set for me. for 900 shipped.

When I bought my ITR it came with LS seats sadly, but I swapped them out for SPOON reclinables.
Still looking for a passenger rail though if anyone is willing to part. I think recaro rails fit on them.

Del Sol seats are one of the most comfortable factory Honda seat made! IMO they look goofy but when you sit in them it's like holy **** why do people nut swing off S2000 seats?

Agreed. They're not much to look at but for tall people (me) they rock. Good support and plenty of headroom.

Giggidy.


Now that thats out of the way.

I must say, after driving for a few days they arn't that bad. They still suck but I guess they arn't terrible. lol.

They sit way to low for me. Im 5'11'' and I had to re adjust my rear view mirror.

Not "one of the", just "THE".

If I had a pair of del Sol seats, I'd definitely swap them in.

Thats a really good question and a factor in my decision to ultimately buy a set of recaros or not. Just how do they sit compared to stock and how they compare to the del sols in height as well? Ive had del sols in 2 of my cars and i love them. I like that they sit lower then stock because you feel like you have more room in the car and feels sportier. I used to always sit with the back portion leaning back more to be comfortable with the stock seats that feel like child booster seats lol. With del sols i sit fairly upright.

Those are some minty fresh looking seats for 900 shipped. Hope i can get a deal like that when it comes around.

The recaros sit the same height as all other normal civic and integra seats it's just the del sol seats sit super low. Alot lower then the recaros
