Well I figured Id throw these up for anyone who wants to see how they look in a 5th gen civic. Install was easy, just swapped rails from the stock seats onto the del sols. Since the stripe on the seat was originally red I dyed it black using duplicolor upholstery paint, came out very well. Well I'll shut up now, here's the pics. Lighting is a lil weird since it was taken at night at the car wash lol

nice man , im really liking the sol seats.

 

what color are your guages???

 

Nice mang!!! I think the bottom part needs some more dye. I can see red. Maybe its just me? Btw, are those amber bulbs I see? If so, How did u do that?

Hope you don't get a big green stripe on the back of your shirt

 

Looks great. Del Sol seats are pretty comfortable.

wow thanks for the compliments guys!

Its not your eyes lol, I ran out of dye and autozone was closed by that time one whole can was used for both stripes.

The gauges are painted bulbs using tesotors competition orange paint #1628, came out a sweet amber/red color. Here's the thread I made on it. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=304289



Here's a few pics for you guys




And yes its a slushbox if everything goes as planned thatll change come summertime

Are they really green, or is it a trick of the light?

 

no the carwash lighting is kinda weird, the interior is black/grey.

 

They look good in person!!! I sat on it and it's very supportive!! Good Job Tom!!

 

I have a set of Del sol seats that I am lookin to sell, they have the green stripe, the brighter green and am wandering what price i should sell them for, how much did you pay for your? Should i paint my stripe black and then sell them?

 

looks good how is the seating position compared to the stock seats? is it a 'lil lower or is it the same?

 

sits lil lower, and you actually stay planted around corners. I absolutley love them.

Sell them for around 250, that seems to be the going price. Keep em green and maybe you'll find somone who wants the green, if not let them know of the option of dying the stripe.

 

aztec WaRrIoR y0....hahah i LOVE that color....nice seats too

on behalf of make a wish foundation im glad i could do that for you tommy haaha

 

looks good The Del Sol fabric is pretty much the same as your backseat!

 

Did you develop these pictures on your own? Looks like a black and white picture with toner or a filter added on, either that or everything outside of the car is normaly yellow-green colored?

Did you dye the back seats as well or just the fronts to test the outcome?

 

No the pics were taken by a sony digital camera, Im not sure what kind specifically. You'd have to ask 4thgsi. It takes great pictures, that last one of my car and his car together was taken by the same camera just to give you an idea.....the lighting inside the carwash is yellowish thats why the pics came out like that.

The back seats were not dyed just the stripe on the del sols.

Yeah, I just give it a softer tone lol.. Actually, the light on the car wash is so bright and my camera is still on the night shot mode pic(you only need this when if the surrounding is dark but I forgot to turn it off).. That's why it came with that effect.. I think it's pretty cool..

 

damn you RJ lol, always forgetting to turn off/on the night shot mode

 

Your car looks nice. I like the seats.
