Default RSX Seats in My WS6!!

I picked up a pair of seats out of a 2006 Acura RSX Type S. They are black leather and are very very nice...it was A LOT of work to get these into my 00' WS6 but tonight the brackets were all buttoned up and the driver seat is in and it looks awesome!
STEPS TO INSTALL:
1.-Remove Old Seats
2.-Cut off Factory Acura Rails (A MAJOR PITA)
3.-Get a set of 93-97 Fbody Manual Rails
4.-Remove the height adjustment part of the fbody rails (I used the factory acura setup since is built into the seat)
5.-Make Custom Brackets
6.-Test Fit
7.-Test Fit
8.-Test Fit (minor trimming required)
9.-Painted Black For A Clean Look
10.- Enjoy

Just wanted to let you guys know and was excited to finished seeing I have around 12hrs. making these things work as I wanted and like factory...

Thanks,
Evan

No way I would spend that much time on a set of Honda/Acura (whatever you wanna call it) seats for my f-body when you can get direct bolt-ins now. But to each their own.

Yeah b/c having a really nice set of comfortable leather seats in your fbody makes you a tool.....
Who cares what they came out of.... I have sat in leather RSX seats and they are extremely nice and if he got them cheap and put the work into it, all the better.

honestly, i HATE honda/acura, but ive always liked those seats. i see nothing wrong with using them as long as they dont have the acura logo still.

waiting on pics.

x2, i never had any desire to change the seats. i'd like to have them re-covered with custom colors/stitching, but still keep the same design.

I took a rsx for a test drive when I almost got one for a daily driven and i couldnt even fit my shoulders in the seats. Not a car made for someone that works out and has wide shoulders.

the stock seats in the F-body are amazingly comfortable and look great... still confused on why someone would do this?? racing seats make sense for weight reduction. just confused.

anywho...where are the pics!?!? this thread is worthless without pics
