Default Aftermarket Seats Question

Random, but I'm a big fan of those Recaro Confetti pattern seats, unfortunately those are generally put in Hondas, you think there's any way to put them in a 350? Would they fit right in the car? Do you need any kind of fabrication for rails or anything of the sort? Just wanna know before I make a purchase.

A)Seat base (adapts car specific mounting points to a flat plane - everything mounts to this)
B)Sliders
C)Side Mounts (if side mount seat)
D)Seats (make sure they aren't too wide for the car)

You will need A for sure. The rest will be determined by how they mount (side mount, bottom mount, car specific?).

Noted. A speedshop here in town claims they can make custom mounts for cars that's why I asked, I didn't know if that was even possible, considering racing seat companies usually offer up rails that go to specific cars

No, but I have a few friends who drive RSX's one of which has the seats, which in turn made me more of a fan after being able to see them, sit in them, etc.

I wouldn’t discard recovering your existing seats. You can get any new covering material (e.g., leather, Recaro pattern, etc.) you want.

The framework on Nissan seats is excellent. I rebuilt the foam when recovering my seats.

Recovering the existing seats save co$t, insures the seat rails fit, provides protection if in an accident, and your seats fit properly.
