Ok, I found an awesome deal on 4th gen VTEC (leather) seats and I decided to snag them with the possibly of installing them in my car or selling them. People are always asking "do 4th gen seats fit in a 5th gen?". If you've done your research (which means searching and reading), you'll know people have said the fronts match up but not the rears. Here are the pics between the 2 generations...

5th gen (left) vs 4th gen right (right) driver's side...
The mounting holes and brackets on the driver's side had the same challenges as the passenger side.
Anyhow, the 4th gen has more seating opinions and seems to have more support on the outside of the back. I'm looking into make brackets so swapping seats will be a breeze. For now, these 4th gen seats will stay in the living room!
Cheers,
Keith
