Just purchased CRX SI seats :D
Whoo hoo! I'm getting new seats. I was lucky enough to find a pair of CRX SI seats for 280$ They're in pretty good condition from the pictures, just a little surface wear in the butt spot of the drivers one.
How do the seatbelts mount to these seats?
Any other tips before I dive into a seat swap?
Thanks, rxKaffee

seems fair. I paid $350 for mine but I wouldn't say they are worn. These are not just Honda seats. These are CRX SI seats. The only Honda seat worth using, and they are kinda rare.
I had a thread on this specific seat install.

I found that there was another model that also had these same seats, but cannot remember its name at the moment. The CRX VVR or something like that has some nice looking seats, almost identical to the recars except some leather/synthetic material. Dunno about size though.

The Civic DelSol SI also came with Recaro's but it's more rare than the Civic SI.
Anyway, nearly any seat from a 1990's+ Honda is better than the stock 1980's seats that came in the Z's. Usually better lumbar and better side bolsters. Of course, if you have the stock seats re-covered, you can get the side bolsters and lumbar built up to your requirements for not much more than the cost of the junk yard Honda seats if you use cloth or synthetic leather instead of real leather.
Ice's interior guy quoted me $200/seat to rebuild them to my requirements a year ago.

ya, over here we get CRX economy versions and you can buy the SI emblem in the auto parts store. 
I had some ricers ask about my seats yesturday when I was at AutoZone... they were probably about to steal them as my t-tops were off and I just happened to be walking out to the parking lot. ya, I dont trust anyone. Everyone is out to steal my crap!

Anyone have a short blurb on what I'm going to need to do to get these seats installed and working with the seatbelts? Justa basic summary of teh procedure would really make me feel better about tearing apart my interior.
