OK so here it is.....My first DIY thread....Installing the JDM SIR rear interior in an EG.
First we hve to get rid of your stock rear interior.....all of it....down to the frame...should look like this
but different color probably
Next we have to take out the USDM seat brackets....they are spot welded so drilling them out with a spot weld bit
there are three brackets two fo the top shoulder part of the seat here
And the center bottom bracket here
They all gotta go.....
Now we install the JDM bracket...it is three pieces and looks like this..
If you didnt get this bracket with your interior I hear there are place who will fabricate one for you
check Honda tech for vendors
When put together it will look like this (but in the car of course)
Next we test fit this bracket in the car and used a marker to trace it off and mark it all up
Always grind down and clean up the areas you are going to spot weld on
Next we fit the bracket and hammered it down for a snug fit
Now we spot welded it down
Next we test fit the backs of the seats...marked off the bolt holes where the seat bolts down
and drilled holes there. (Note anywere we drilled into the car we gave a quick shot of primer
just to protect the exposed metal
Now this next part is open to your own ideas but the best idea we came up
with was placing the bolts for the seat brackets into the holes (nice and snug)
And welding thme in so the bolt just screws into them...
Now just drop the interior in and bolt....TA DA!!!
Please keep in mind we are not professionals....just enthusiasts like everyone else.

Freakin AWESOME! ... I want to do this interior swap so bad but I can't afford it 
.... Can I request more pics of the rear seats and arm rests 
? ... Great topic also.. cause if I ever do perform this interior swap... I think I will be using this to help me out. A+
