I decided to do the Type R rear bench in my Si. I picked up the back seats for a good price from someone local that gutted their car for the track.

Tools:
10mm socket with extension
Needle nose pliers
Hog ring pliers
Hog rings
Glue gun + sticks

1: bench removal pull tables forward one on each side of rear bench front facing to release locks. Undo 10mm nut bottom of driver side back rest. Pull out. (Canadian models has heated rear seats don't forget to disconnect plug underneath seat)
