Default Sedan interior swap into Hatch

Is it possible to swap the interior from an EF Sedan into my EF hatch?

Front Seats:
Rear Seats:
Front door panels:
Rear door Panels:

I found someone parting out a very nice looking interior and I'm tired of the loose bed sheet seat covers I have. I know the rear door panels are useless pretty much. I think the front seats will fit, not sure on the rear or the front door panels.

Thanks for any help!

Front door panels from a sedan will not fit on a hatch (the doors of a hatch are longer)

Only window crank handles can be salvaged from the rear door panels to swap over to a hatch, and of course some clips.

The rear seat bottom from a sedan will not fit a hatch, however the top/back portion can fit (with or without modification I do not know)

Front seats fit I remember reading about this, but the seatbelt mechanisms may be in your way.

I've tried the front seats a long time ago and I remember the seatbelt mechanisms being an issue. It was something that seemed to be workable but since it was supposed to be a temporary seat swap I just put everything back the way it was (wasn't worth the effort at the time).

Dang. I saw some freshly re-upholstered EF sedan seats for a decent price. It was black and red leather, a tad on the ricer side, but I would have loved to have them over what I currently have.

But the back seat doesn't fit? That blows hard. No way to modify it to fit? The bottom portion does look wider.

I bet you can get away with a seat pan swap and avoid the seat belt issue. If not, I remember it didn't look like it would've been hard to modify this/that to make it fit especially since you're more than likely NOT trying to add whatever power belt thingamabobber that's attached to the sedan seat.

Yeah, the pan swap wouldn't be hard. I can manage that.

88-91 CIVIC:
-Front-
•88/89 Civic All Models Interchange (+All 84-87 civic/crx options)
•90/91 Civic All Models Interchange
•90-93 Integra w/Civic outer rails*90/91 Civic Only
**Sedan seats ~2" taller than other civics**
*Headrests are compatible w/94-01 Tegs/96-00 Civs*

-Rear-(Sedan)
•90-93 Integra Sedan
•92-00 Civic Sedan
-Rear-(Hatch)
•94-01 Integra *Use sedan lower to compensate the gap
•92-00 Civic *hatchback only
This says the 94-01 integra sedan lower seat will fit? I'm so confused. I want the back seat to fit.
