Default EP3 Seats into a Del Slo

How much modification would be needed to put EP3 seats in a Del Slo?

Who cares. If you do that to your Del Sex, I will kill you, burn you in your fire and chirp third away.

What do they look like?

a ridiculous amount. i have 02 civic HX seats (similar to the EP3 rails) in my 89 CRX, and it sucks, and it was a nightmare. the only way to do it is to hack down the EP3 rails, level everything off somehow, and weld them to your EG rails. and even if you manage to do all that perfectly, you're gonna be sitting real high because the EP3 has a minivan-like driving position. don't do it.

After seeing them, if they sat like the DelSex's seats, then it would be nice. But I'm with you on that.

Gsr seats are a nice alternative. They are easy to find and sit alittle higher up. If you have a sol w/ all black interior the blk/leather gsr seats look very nice.

i don't have any direct experience with ITR seats, but my understanding is that they'll sit a bit higher, but they should work. and since they still use the traditional seat pan/bolt on rails set up that civics used from 88-2000, you'll have a much easier time swapping things over. so it's worth looking into, but i'm not gonna say with 100% certainty that it'll work. it's just that honda changed seat designs pretty drastically in 01 and ruined it for everyone.

you also might want to look into s2000 seats... won't be quite as bolt-in friendly as ITR seats, but i've seen them in an eg hatch first hand, so it's also a possibility.
