Hey guys, I was wondering if the last generation of accord coupe seats would fit in the fifth gen ludes? i can get some 2000 accord seats, but i dont know if the rears would fit? any help would be appreciated.

any help please? i know the fronts can be modified to fit. but will the rears from the accord coupe fit nice and snug? or will they be too big?

Why would you do this anyways. I think the prelude seats are more comfy than accord ones.

the rears probably won't work, the dimensions are totally different.

id do it for leather seats, thanks for the help

well i dunno if they fit or not... but i think you would be doing yourself a favor by not installing these seats. my girlfriend has a 2001 accord w/ leather seats and i drive it all the time. the seats are not aggressive at all, and are all about comfort. i think this would be kinda annoying in the lude, but i'm just giving you my opinion.

they are quite big seats though, i would see them having trouble fitting. sorry i can't be of more help.

It sounds like a downgrade to me. I know they have leather and that's what you want, but why not just go to an online leather upholstery retailer and order a kit for your factory seats?

I don't have leather but I've seen many late model Preludes with leather and they look very nice.

If you're really interested in swapping the Accord seats, I read somewhere that the mounting rails for most Hondas are very similar. Unless someone can tell you which rails will work, you'll have to compare Honda P/N's.

As far as clearances, as long as the seat isn't any wider than a Recaro Speed it might clear the seatbelt harnesses, etc.

Measuring dimensions and matching the mounting rails is the only way you'll know for sure.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the help, i decided not to go for it. Although they are leather, they wont look right in a prelude.
