I paid $1800.00 (seats + rails). Got them on e-bay brand new out of Arospeed's CTR that was in the states for about 6 months. I dont have red door panels, yet. ;)

You sit a little lower but not by much. The biggest difference is the sides are so much closer together.

Yeah, I had that guy look for some panels or me like 2 months ago. Then he e-mails me a price of $480 and $100 for shipping. I told him to go f*ck himself. I bid but there is a reserve. If I can get them cheap enough I'll get um. Thanks for the headsup though cease. ;)

i have a friend thats been in okinawa for about 3 years. he's in the NAVY and he hooked me up with my JDM parts for my cr-x. he's not expensive and he's very reliable.

he's looking to see if he can get some used 2002 civic type R parts but the car to new to be in the junk yard, but when i hear from him ill post it up

It's probably your camera coz' the seats in the other car with the girl in it looks red.

I guess Honda decided the general population in US needs more room on the sides :rolleyes:

did anyone else notice that the seats are not the same...not only is the color slightly off, but look at the bolster, the arospeed has black on them, while the seats in your do not :(

Either way, beautiful seats

since recaros are the subject, would like some honest opinions on what ppl think of the same seats in blue?
too ricey? ruin jdm look? would like to know what ppl think.
(have seen them in blue, in a dc5r)

Before the 03 Si were released, Honda said there's going to be a new color. I even saw a photo of it on their website a while back showing a blue Si with BLUE seats. Really. I wish I can find it again.

My seats are the JDM CTR seats that were originaly in the car. Arospeed put their own seats in to promote their brand. So the seats are different. Oh and the color is off cause of my camara and the way the sun was hitting the seats. They are red in person. Thanks for all the compliments though.

Mine= JDM CTR :p
Arospeed= cheap imitation :rolleyes:

How much did that cost and are they rpetty stirty? I found a great deal for some red SRD recaros for 800 bucks and i kinda want to see if i could sell my seats to close to that if so i pretty much get Recaros for damn cheap! So im kinda excited to see if i can do this.

You can look on www.mmrusa.com. The home page has some seat brackets listed. I dont know pricing cause mine where made all shitty by aerospeed for free then I had to do alot of welding to make them fit right. Good luck! I found these listed on their web site after mine were done.

I checked on MMRUSA and they have brackets for 01+ civic so im guessing those fit the Si? You know if there is any modification for that becuase those are pretty cheap brackets. I might actually end up doing this.
