quichedem 02-29-16 08:02 PM

Looks like you'll need the short tunnel cover? I don't think those were made for LHD, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

silverTRD 02-29-16 11:36 PM

you can trim the usdm version back. it sits lower and is more comfortable according to my son.

bzebern 03-01-16 01:51 AM

jdm seats
 
yeah its an inch and a half longer will trim it later once i got everything fitted in with the carpet still need to cover the lower part cause the original one has a cover
ebay has some sides for another $350 lol but will see what i can do later
