All for $359 shipped thru FEDEX 4 days, which was a good deal. I will give a review on them when they come in this week.

Wow 359 shipped for two seats and fake type R matts? That is a steal! I hope they are hella nice so I can order some. My car only has 2700 miles on it and my si matts are dirty and wearing out fast. Wierd, eH?

I have size 9 and I think maybe you just don't drive as hard as me and the other dude that wears out his matts :) hehe. Or maybe we can't sit in our seats so we rub the matts without realizing it. HA HA HA!

those seats look like marshmellows.... well, at least in that picture.

My personl preference would be some recaros

Will those floormats fit correctly? The shape is very different.

Here is the shape of our drivers side OEM floormat

http://ebay2.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_545809f2f0006b0e2d889b2ad3502664/i-2.JPG

Now look at the shape of this driver side floor mat.

http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/30056935/Images/Rcivred.jpg

Also our rear floormat is one piece & they are claiming 5 pieces total....does the rear consist of 3 pieces??

BTW the floormats do look good for the price. :)

those floormats are from the older type r. the ek

My guess is that the seller just didn't bother getting a new photo of the actual EP3 mats. As you can see on his eBay seller page, he seems to be using the same photo as the other Civic. I'm guessing he know's what he's doing, and will most likely ship you your correct item.

those floor mats are shit!
I had them in my old car and they wore out in less than 2 months...get oem floor mats if you want to get your moneys worth...

I had no choice on the floor mats, cuz they come with the seats in auction. I can always sell them to someone else;) :p :D

i have these floormatts in my EP. They say "Integra" Type R..lol. The Blue ones say "Civic Type R". I went w/ the red since they look great in our cars. If anyone wants to see them i will be at HIN in Chicago on the 4th.

Got the seats in this morning, they came a day early.
I have the worst luck on parts thru the mail!!!!!!!!!!!
Passenger side seat has been dropped on hard and cut top and bottom of seat *I HATE FEDEX!!!!*.
But overall the seat feel good, feel better than the Si seats (probably cuz they are new lol).
Comfortable sitting on them on the floor hehehe.
Have not instlled them yet, cuz I'm waiting an email for RMA for one of the seats or both.
The seats are as pictured and so are the floor mates (will be selling the floor mats).
The seats are worth $359 shipped. They are not of the higest quality like the $1000-$3000 seat but hey it's only seats.

Thanks

bioevolve,
Do you plan to use your factory sliders or use the generic ones that come with the seats??

bioevolve
09-13-2003, 11:12 AM
Bummed, Can't use the Generic Sliders nor the EP sliders. Wrong slide shape, EP sliders are part of the seat sub frame (welded).
Generic slider are shorter in length, will require me going to hardware store and buying Aluminum plates and shaping them to connect the sliders to the floor.
Short about 2 inches.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid79/p27dfb3b073aaf821a26e1a02988f9a43/fb1a4a18.jpg
Can't use the bottom part of the slider, different slide.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid79/pd09437a1af0fcb69e10a0569a22d3dde/fb1a4a5e.jpg
Will have to custom fabricate these out of aluminum plates to fit the shorter sliders.

Still waiting on that EBAY sellers reply after he asked for pics. waiting waiting waiting.

hey tony,
if you really want some red ones, you should try going to an apost. shop and have exact copies of the SI mats made, that way you know they'll fit perfect, plus they can match your recaros.
=)
[ps: while there you can get matching red door panels made] =)

Oh Forgot, In addition to buying these seat, not only will you have to make those custom brakets, you will have to buy a 3,4,5 point harness set, cuz the stock seat belt latches will not transfer over to the new seats.:(
