My understanding is no seats, other than the originals that came with the del sol, will fit without modification. You always seem to have to use the del sol seat pan and rails or fab up your own.

I rather like the seats in the Del Sol. I think they're comfortable, and hold a body in place around corners... just need to be covered in stronger stuff as soon as I take care of a few things that need attention, I'm going to reupholster in leather.. Costs around $650 for the kit (if you don't add extras like heated seats or adjustable lumbar) Gotta a be cheaper than new seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 you 100% sure bout that? im not tryin to be sarcastic or anything. I know you need the del sol rails for the S2000 seats and all integra seats (including the GS-R leather and cloth.) As far as the ep3 seats I have no idea. I've heard of people fitting 3 out of 4 bolts without modification but it's dangerous and not recommended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 More often than not you're going to have to remove the rails from the bottom of the Del Sol seats and find a way to put them on your new seats. Pain in the ass, but it can be done and it can be done on damn near any seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 just regular teg seats? will they bolt in no modification or do i need new rails and yada yada? Bottom line, if you want ANY seat other than del sol seats, you have to fab something up or use the del sol rails. I don't know how many people you need to tell you that before you accept it, lol.

pluckedchicken Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I got curious and did an internet search for replacing Del Sol seats, and found more results putting Del Sol seats in Civics and Intergas, than the other way around... guess one man's crappy seat is another man's throne Here's a DIY of putting Del Sol seats in an Intergra... I suppose you could reverse engineer this http://www.team-integra.net/forum/blogs/morningz/278-g3-installation-del-sol-seats.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Only stock Honda seats I like more than Del Sol seats visually and comfort wise are Integra Type R seats. And MAYBE S2000 seats. They're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 you guys liek the stock del sol seats? i mean visually they are attractive but comfort level on mine are kinda crapty. they arent soft. iv heard good things about the prelude seats. just so everyone knows i have the sol seats with the stripe down the center. mine look like they were a diffent color and someone painted them.
