if you have welding skills you can weld the civic rails on the rex seats. i used the "hack" for awhile but that sucked *****.

DO NOT drill the car, drill the seat rails.

Probably cuz you're trying to put CRX seats in a civic. crx fits crx, civic fits civic, remember the civic is longer hense different spacing.

They are also off by a significant amount. I've got a set of CRX seats in my basement without the motivation to hack them up for an install. DO NOT RIVET THEM IN. This would be a significant safety issue. Rivets are designed to take shear loading, (side to side forced) not straight up and down.

I looked at modding the seat bottom in order to fit the civic rails but it didn't really look doable.
