Its very comfortable.... even my wife likes driving on it. She even asked me to buy her another one for the passenger side. The only thing that is annoying now is getting in and out of the car. Because the buddyclub has a high side suppport it's abit a hard to slide in and out. You get used to it but. You just have to learn a technique getting in and out....

but comfort and position is excellent.

That sucks, I know in my Crx the seatbelt light was on so I pulled the bulb out of the back of the cluster and no more seatbelt light.

Well I'm curious about the rails in the NA market... I'm also curious if any company is offering side mounted seat rails?

Ben from AJ-R said a bracket would be needed on the passenger side. I'm curious if he had the same problem.. He used the J's Racing on the Driver's Side...

The Buddyclub seat fitted pretty tight for a mid-size person like 5 ft 8" or up. The shoulder par, imo is too narrow and it pushes your shoulder too forward. If you are really slim, you might like it but it if not, don't consider.

yes the airbag sensor which also connects to the seat belts needs to be somehow mounted
thankfully my recaro's gives me a spot where I can bolt that on. though that leaves the sensor exposed; so need to fabricate a cover for it or remount it!

can both you guys take pictures with you sitting in the seats for us to get an idea the seating position with aftermarket seats/rails?

So there are no issues at all if you just change out the driver's seat?

SRS Light??? Do the US FIT get side airbags?

Cause here in Australia we dont have side airbags so yeah it was a straight swap no warning lights what so ever.

I did a seat swap a few years back with my truck and plan to do with the Fit. The brackets cost an arm and a leg from Recaro! Since I already took the seat out, I went ahead and remove the carpet and put sound proof - rammat on it and get it done in one shot!

Those seats are heavier than you thought with full metal frame! Get in shape first before you attempt this
