Default Just got me some Del Sol seats but...

When I was taking off my passenger side bolts, no of them even budged, and one bolt even snaped in half. I'll have pictures of the seats tomorrow. Sucks because I was so anxious to get them in.

edit::
I am a dumbass, for turning the wrench the wrong way
Switching rails at the moment.

Agreed. Those bolts are really in there, too. I got lazy and took an impact wrench to 'em.

sorry for the shitty camera

Finished the passenger side yesterday late at night and didnt have the time to do the driver side yet, but good comparsion pictures

note: my passenger side isn't fully secure yet since I broke off one half of the bolt inside the hole. I'll fix that tomorrow at arco or maybe just buy a easy out if im not lazy.







Notice the white out part?


it's a powered by Acura shoulder pad (i wear it black side up so no flaming)

I wonder how much hammer heads will I be able to count up when this thread dies.

the bolts on the driver side came out so smooth. I knew it was left loosey, but I thought it meant turning the socket wrench **** to the LEFT, to loosen.

great upgrade over dx seats, ek seats in general suck
people that spend $200 + on si seats are mis-informed and severly dissappointed

Only "rare" because those seats come in the 96-97 sols......sure the pattern is kinda cheesey but IMO the 96-97 seats are made with much better quality material, I think they are more comfortable as well than the 92-95 striped seats.

Yeah the only reason I wrote ?'rare'? is because people always tell me how rare they are...*shrugs* hell if I know I never cared which ones I would get I just got some. Rare or not I love them... cheap *** price for a pretty good seat.
