I do not think it will be a problem. since base are the same - Im guessing it will bolt straight in - try to looking at CL7 interior - that should give you an idea

I think there was a picture in this accord euro forum where someone did it. The only problem they had was the air bag light was on as the cl7 seats do not have side airbags. I think you need a cl7 ecu or something to fix that problem.

This is exactly what you need I was going to do it untill i called my insurance company and they said removal of any airbags in a car deems the car as roadworthy and the car will not be insured

So if you dont mind it not being insured it will be awesome i think

A member on here has done it I think it was x10, there is a diy guide you can follow, As for the airbag light you can get a fuse to stop it
You will also need rails etc

If it voids your insurance it's not worth it at all. It would be awesome to do though.

so the fn2r seats have the airbag setup the same as a euro? if it voids insurance there's no point swapping

I dont think there higher than the oe seats vinno, maybe about the same.

bonus when using the euro rails is you still have all electric arse-dump options etc!

yeh i got recaros in my car, and yes the srs light is on.. have been lazy is getting around to fix it. But cos my car got defected i gotta swap the original seats back in for the roadworthy, so will try fix it then.

As to the original question, i bought mine with custome rails for the cl9. not 100% sure if cl7 rail will fit into the cl9, tho they are the same chassis the bolting points may be different between the cl9/7

and its a resistor not a fuse that is needed.
