DF Type R Seats

Status
Not open for further replies.
I recently installed my ivory type R seats with the SOS manual rails. Here are some photos. Overall the seats are comfortable, but I noticed my seat belt is a little hard to put on since the buckle is up against my hip. Without the buckle installed I am fine. Maybe I am too wide.

omega,
are you using the stock seatbelt receiver?

the nsx-r receiver is about an inch longer and should solve your problem.

I did swap over my oem seat belt hardware to the type R seats. I can still put the seat belt on if I move my hip out of the way, but a longer receiver makes more sense.

Or possibly the type of receiver that has a fabric strap like a rear seat one from another Honda/Acura?
 
Any news?

I too am still waiting on the black leather/black perforated leather seats - tell us something!

In the meantime, I have ordered leatherseats.com kit for the stock seats (I will have the seat cushion replaced by a thin piece of foam with the leather over it) in the same leather combo and silver stiching to match the dash/door panels.

- Please let us know!

hi senninha,

the brackets/sliders shown in the photos are vance's original nsx-r brackets/sliders. we will be offering a bracket/slider that pretty much looks identical to it and science of speed will be offering a bracket/slider but im not sure about the design, ill let you know once i find out or maybe they can chime in.

Any updates on the DF rails ... I've seen the SOS but would prefer something with more of an OEM look/feel to it

Thanx

DF power seat rails look very close to the OEM NSX-R seat rails. I have both the OEM and the DF.

I'm really dying to buy these but apparently they do not have black leather available to them yet - I hope they get some soon.

OMEGA2, those seats look great on your car! Swap out the leather inserts on your door panels for the "tight" look, to really finish off your interior! :)

I'm still waiting for availability of the Type-S configuration of black leather outside and perforated alcantara inserts. Any idea of that availability?
 
I'm hoping to recieve leather samples in the post any day soon .... :smile:

regards, Paul
 
we just sent the leather samples out a couple days ago for you guys to check out. once we finish a seat in leather, we'll take photos and post for all of you guys to see.
