    4G seats in a 3G?

    I found a pair of 4G seats in perfect condition that I would love to install in my 3G... Has anyone done this? Easy or difficult? Can you explain the pros and cons?

    I swapped the seat brackets off of my accord seats on to my prelude seats so that they would mount onto the 3g

    i dont think anyone has 4g seats. they more than likely not a direct bolt in, but you could do like everyone else and modify the bracket, or the seat itself like sik_sohc did. seats really arent hard to remove or install if you are mechanically inclined and use some common sense.
