Default Prelude buckets...Should I? ('99 EK)

Tomorrow I'm going to a pull-it yard and there are around 6 '97-'01 preludes sitting and I decided to google the seats, mostly because my EK seats are a pain. If I can find two matching seats in good condition should i get em? It'd be about $90 total. I've already looked up the swap and its pretty simple. Heres a pic...


this is the design on the seat. Also heard they're very comfy.

So yes or no? Maybe? lol

Might as well. If your current seats are in bad shape it will be an upgrade. ;]

It'll probably require some welding as per the above link states.

Ok, so I did get some lude seats, although they weren't the ones out of a '97-'01. The ones I got seem to be out of a 1990 Prelude Si, very comfortable. I wasn't able to swap the rails though so i took a chance and swapped the pans. Took a little over 1.5 hours each seat. The seats are black and stripped and they have the lumbar jack and the side wing adjustment. Simply amazing. I'm gonna get some pics up tomorrow i hope.


P.S. - Swapping pans is a PITA!!
