I have a group buy for this going on if anyone is interested.

Why don't all these seats flip forward? is it because its from a car and they dont need to "flip forward for rear access" I use my rear cab too much to not have that access available to me. I have been looking at seats as the next comfort mod but cost and accessibility and customizing is always the concern. but they do look damn comfortable, looks good

 

Yes, they don't flip forward because they're from a 4 door car, so no real need.

Your options get limited or very pricey if you are limited to looking for seats from a coupe.

I do recommend testing out the seats you want, the other issue is these seats are very tall at the shoulder area.

My dog used to love to put her head out the window from the bench I made her in the back area, and she can't now, kinda sucks.

 

Yeah I have two golden retrievers and their bench I made is back there. Gotta keep my bitches happy

 

I have seats out of a RSX that work pretty well. They flip forward since the RSX is a coupe. Mounting them was not easy, but the easiest way would be to cut your stock rails off and graft them onto the new seats.

 

NICE!! how did you mount yours? just swap over seat rails? Everything still work as factory? The RSX seats have any lumbar or height adjustments? RSX seats could be easier to get ahold of too. get some pics posted!!!

 

These are from my build thread.
I mounted them the hard way by cutting and bending the RSX rail feet. I got halfway into it and wished that I had just swapped the rails.
They driver seat has lumbar and heigh adjustment. They sit higher than stock so I never use the height adjustment. I am also 5' 4" and it definitely pushed me up higher. If you are closer to 6ft your head would be at the ceiling. It also has an airbag but that's not hooked up.

 

Not bad, that broken door handle though...

 

Haha everyone points that out! It doesn't look like that anymore. I replaced the door panels with 01-04 ones.

 

That mismatch though....

 

Pretty sure this is a first. 4 bulbs, all remote controlled with varying transition settings or I can set one color for all.

 

how much was for a set of 4?

 

Is that cup holder factory?

 

Where did you get them from and can you change how bright they are?

 

How hard is it to get the those bulbs?

 

really easy actually all you need to do is unbolt the panel under the steering wheel and go from there takes about 5 minutes to take it all apart

 

Easy to get. Lotsss of variance. Comes with one of those full color option remotes along with brightness settings. Took a little finagling and the right side didn't want to work, took some trial and error and it works now.

The only downside so far is that the constantly changing color mode is a little quick for my liking and you have to mess with it a little to get the color you want without it strobing. Not much, but enough that it's worth mentioning.

I love the variety of colors since I get bored a few times a day.

My bad, misunderstood your question. 3 screws and two clips to get the center a.c. rack off.

3 screws(two above the cluster) and 4 bolts to get the part under the steering wheel off. The clock piece clicks into place and the key hole light takes a 74 bulb(in my 98), two 74s for the a.c.,one 74 for the ash tray and one for the glove box

4 194s for the gauge cluster, three wire clips on the back of the cluster and one clip for the emergency flasher. It takes some cursing and stretching of the dash to get everything out but it's not bad considering I did the whole procedure twice in a week.

Oh, and tape up the part above your steering wheel with painters tape. Realized I'd scratched it when removing the cluster the third time.

 

$16 for a set of two so around $35

 

Exactly my issue, my yellow lab makes her home back there. Mine do go forward enough for her, but still a pain in the ass for me.

Yeah, mine were a bitch to mount too. I basically cut the feet off mine and mounted them to the Subaru tracks, but the seats sit too high.

Rather than go to the trouble of cutting and rewelding I'm just going to buy Corbeau seat tracks.
