I do not think they will. 1.6EL is 6th gen Civic, 1.7EL is 7th gen Civic, and yours is 5th gen.

Not possible. Unless you swap your own rails over to those seat bases.

My friend bolted up his acura 1.6 EL leathers into his 5th gen coupe....95% fit.

The third bolt took some manuvering to get into place.

The seats are nice, but they sit very high off the floor when compared to stock seats.

As for the rear, they don't work well at all.
