Here ya go guys. Just click on my homepage and you'll see them. There's also a picture of my fabricated extension pipe for my B-pipe for those who doubted a straight pipe could go in there.

Not too much $$$

My buddy bought them for $200 out of a trashed 96 Prelude VTEC. He tried them in his Del Sol, but they were a bit tall and sat too high. I quickly said that I'd take them off his hand for $200!!!! From the factory they are over $1200 last time we checked.

"LLLLLLike a glove"

The Prelude seats are about 1" narrower than the stockers. The Prelude seats look like standard equipment. They're beautiful.

Re:

Now what did you have to do to get them to fit? Your site says a 2x2 Tubesteel.

So is your factory bolt holes intacted? Did you have to drill in your car? Are your factory seats still in one piece?

Thanks, I'd love to do this mod.

Go to my site...

On my site there is a picture of the rear of my seat. The rear inside stock mounting point was not used. The shop thought it would be easier just to drill a hole, take a 4" X 3/8" alloy bolt, and bolt up the seat that way. All other stock mounting points were used. The stock seats can be reinstalled in minutes. Hope this helps.

Nice mod dude! I had Prelude seats->

in the ol'e 510. Best mod I did. Question though. Are these seats electricly adjustable or just manual? Actually manual would probably be lighter.

Prelude seats are manual..

The driver's side has an adjustment for lumbar and two tilt back levers (one for long adjustment and another for short). I had the rear of the seat tilted a bit backwards because I'm tall and need the thigh support. You kinda fall in them a little. Even with the stock power seats I couldn't get much thigh support.
