Hi Guys. I found a pair of seats I would love to put in my car, but because the SX come with side airbags can I even remove the seats? And does anyone know if that would cause a problem with the insurance company? They said I can do mods as long as they are legal. So I am guess that it wouldn't LOL
Any help appreciated
O and these are the seats, aren't they pretty LOL

Can I remove front seats that have side airbags?

As the car was manufactured with airbags on the front seats, that's how it got it compliance plate. Any removal or disabling of the car's safety features, make the car non-compliant, hence a defectable car and no insurance. So in short, no.
You can replace them with Evo X obtained seats with airbags - as I have done on the drivers side.

So as I read this (correct me if wrong) my ES (dont see any airbag signs on seat) can be replaced with any AfterMarket Racing seats no worries but the very same SX can not?? is that right?
as advised in this Dept QLD Transport page..

also where are the air bags located on a ES, as I have a GPS next to an A-piller on the windscreen?

Only the seats out of the fn2r civic type r (latest one) have airbags in them. However they have Type R embroidered across the back, not recaro, so it would look a little silly haha
