Question about UK type R seat covers: Are they the same as our Si seats? Other than the Type R on the front seats, the fronts look the same but I noticed a square patch on one seat that had some material missing that the si seats don't have. What is the missing material for? Are the back seats the same?

I just realized I should of put this in the interiors section: Sorry can a mod move it?

the seat FRAMES are the same, meaning everything is the exact same shape and size, so you can pop off the cloth from the type r 30th anniversary edition and get some wicked red seat covers to put on your own seats.

30ae recaro covers will not fit usdm seats sorry. Also, the regular type r seats vary slighly. Instead of having the push release at the back of the seat like USDM its on the side of the seat by the outer shoulder

like i said
they will fit...
I wasn't taking into account anything like side airbags.
The push release is avoidable because its only on the drivers seat in the UK.
just get two passenger seat covers.
the covers will fit, there is nothing different about the bolsters or anything as far as the seats size. BaLisTek is just crazy.
There is NOTHING stopping you from putting the seat covers on your seats.

welp if thats true you learn something everyday.. but how could the AE seats covers fit on USDM seats? They could fit on Recaro Sport Seats. It can get as simple as AE seats have 2 holes while the usdm seats has 1 hole at the top of the seat.

Non-AE seats can fit the usdm seats now ... using passenger seat covers like you said

Did the UK ctr get the recaro's like that? http://www.civictyper.ca/30th%20Anniversary%20CTR/30th%20Anniversary%20CTR%20021.jpg
i didnt think they got those seats?
if they did, then you are indeed correct, you cant use THOSE seats.
but you can use the ones that have the triangle hole that are red and black that say recaro on them, or the ones exactly as i described that say Type R.

I didn't get recaros I am putting red in the middle and want to make sure the back seats are a direct fit before I cut them apart to put the red in and then find out later they don't fit!!!

aight now its all clear.. i admit I didnt even think bout only 1 seat having the lever.. so you are right. Only thing that threw me off to begin with was when you said AE edition. Those are the all red ctr recaros. AE editions were available in the Euro's in 2003.
