    And I said it couldn't be done !!!

    Here are the seats I picked out of a Mazda 626 GT in the junkyard for $25. The have adjustable bolsters and lumbar and 3 way adjustable rake. They were a pain in the ass to mount because I couldn't use the Honda or Mazda seat rails. I had to use seat rails from a BMW. Anyways, tell me what you think..









    I know that they don't exactly match but I don't care. Nothing that a little cloth paint wont fix.

    These seats are soooooo much better than the stock back busters that came with our cars.

    PS. Sorry it took so long to post these pics but my website wouldn't let me upload the pics so I had to erase the entire thing and start from scratch....

    Yup, theres duct tape on the drivers seat. I did that when I tried to take the drivers seat out of the car. Nothing that a vinyl repair kit won't take car of.

    I didnt really go looking for these particular seats, they kinda found me. I was looking for an extra pair of speakers at that time for my other car. I was wandering around the junkyard for about an hour and I was getting hot so I looked for a fairly clean place to sit down. I sat dewn in those seats for 30 seconds and knew I had to have em. The funny thing was the rest of the car was trashed but the seats are basically how I found em.' They were almost as clean as you see em in the pics.

    Ah, they do have "halo" headrests.
    They do look comfy, that's something I need.
    What made U think of using BMW rails to make them fit

    Where ther is a will there is a way. They dont look too bad like that, not a bad match. Makes me wonder what would have happened if I had really tried to get the prelude seats in my gen2.
