I prob. have 2 hrs mounting the pass. about the same on drivers. You do not ruin the oe mounting threads. You have to cut off a built on armrest on the drivers side with a sawsall, My O.E drivers seat weighed in at 73lbs. Honda seat 42.

I got the drivers side seat in today with the 2 easy mounting bolts in and then went for a 20 min. drive. I prev. owned a 95 SC400 that had 95% good as new seats. Never really liked them so much, even after 2yrs. These cloth Accord seats fit me perf. in this car and are comf. and well bolstered. All I seem to do was slide around in the O.E. leather. Im 190 lbs. and 5' 10'' , I realize diff. size people may have better luck with the O.E. Will have pics. posted as soon as I get them resized.

They do match surprisingly well. I wish I could get into cloth seats in my Luxo...... just can't.

I got lucky, the local salvage yard had just taken in this car, was a little old lady owned 95 Accord. I repeat these sedan seats do not fold very far forward to let someone into the back seats. Not a prob. for me as mine are removed, soon to have the rear seat area covered in tweed.
