back seats are Really small man.Like made for Midgets or Kids.
all the mounting holes are there though If you choose to go that route.
the S5 tail lights(round stye) can be put on a S4(86-88) Rx7,but you need to do minor Trimming to the Inside Metal where the light bulbs poke through Into the Body.Just a matter of taking a one inch square piece out so the light bulb doesn't hit the body,as they are styled differently.
Get the Harness for the lights too,if you plan on swapping rear tails.

The seats bolt right in if you get all the hardware but are really only suitable for cargo, small pets and midgets.

As for the tail lights, see http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/taillights.htm

A '90 RX7 is an S5, so it's supposed to have the round taillights stock. If you don't have them now, someone swapped in S4 lights for god knows what reason.

Yes, but you need to swap both mirrors. There are something like 4 different mirror designs for FCs, so you could end up with 2 that look totally different.

What does the mirror on the passenger side look like? There are the stock manual and electric mirrors, then there's the aero mirrors that I believe come in both manual and electric. I have 1 driver's side stock manual mirror if that's what you need. Aero mirrors came on the TIIs and some other models and have a hole through the mounting base and look very sleek along with being aerodynamic. Post a pic of your's or e-mail me a pic and whether it's manual or electric. I suspect all the S5 mirrors are aeros.

I also have a rear seat in red, but since it's from an S4, the fabric pattern probably doesn't match. PM me for pics, pricing, and shipping.

Mazda sells the console surround. A standard stereo mounting kit is available at any car audio place.
