Default ITR rear seats into ek hatch

sup guys, former memeber here, (i lost my password a while ago and could not remember...) anyways, i did a search on this already and found many many topics, but i could not find the right answer to my question. i know a while back, someone had posted pictures of their itr rear seats installed into their ek hatch...and had the 'how to's' with it... i was wondering if anyone know who it is, if not if anyone can tell me some tips in installing the seats.
thanks...

Just remember, with the Civic rails the Integra seat will still sit up high, whereas if you used the ITR rails the seat will sit 1" lower. However, you will lose some legroom with ITR rails.

if you look at merritts install its very sloppy...there is a gap between the bench and the seat backs and the seats probably dont fold down nicely at all
How is it anymore "sloppy" than yours? Your holding your seat down by zip ties... Also the seat backs fold down perfectly. The only difference between our two setups are your zip ties and the fact that your side pegs aren't sitting completely in the holes.

Its an alternative to doing that. Why tear apart two perfectly good sets of seats to make one?

Swapping the skins sounds to be the easiest. But it takes hours. Not a fun job.

On a side note: Merritt's seats fold down perfectly without the use of any wood.

Why? Bacause there isn`t much of a market for rear ek seats these days. Who cares if you ruin a set. You can always keep the ek skins and teg backs if need be. Btw, Nate, took me an hour. Wasn`t bad at all.

The center mount is sticking through because the picture was taken before I put the metal rod in between the seat backs. Plus if the picture was taken without the flash or at a slightly different angle the gap would look different. The picture was intended to demonstrate the angle at which the gap is most obvious. Besides in your pic I also see the edge of the carpet sticking out from under the seat cusion. So I guess its either have carpet edge sticking out or have a little gap. Plus to take out the interior I don't need anything to cut zip ties or spare zip ties to put it back in. It comes in and out easliy for track days and such.
