I noticed s14 front/rear seats in that list. i got s14 seats in the front of my vert, but do you have s14 rear seats? do they fit? as of now i do know the coupe and hatch rear seats don't fit. the butt part does but not the back rest. its too wide. but if s14 rear seats, both the butt and back, fit for you, i know my next purchase.

^ It's the other way around for s13 seats in the coupe/hatch. The backrest will fit will some modification, but the butt seat is a completely different shape (foam wise) and will never fit right.

thanks for your opinion, but its all me bro, ill choose what i like and from the stock tweed that it usualy comes with its wayyy. better.and it'll add to the spice. since its a convertible you'll be able to see everything so that just adds to it.

thanks for all the comments guys, really.and the s14 rear seats will fit but like stated it needs alot of modifing to fit.reason doing so is i might wanna take some ppl with me cruising around these nice southern texas summers.

and krash, an sr or rb, yeah coulda, but i set a goal and this is what was in that goal.later once my hatch is finished i might get a rb25 or an sr but till then, im all about ka's

I know the S14 rear seats don't fit. AZHitman modded a set of S14 rear seats to fit his vert a few years ago and if I recall correctly he said it was very, very labor intensive. At the time I tried to get him to do a write up but I think he said it wasn't worth it. I would suggest just getting your rear seats recovered at an upholstery shop. I had an estimate on doing my rear seats to match my S14 fronts and it was under $200. I plan on getting it done once my funds build back up.

Oh yeah, 93superHICAS...car is looking great, love the color your going with! Keep us updated on your progress.
