Hi guys ! iM buying a full interior of someone who is selling my exact interior , the boca raton edition in the silver duster was only in end of 75-1976 ...im buying it all front , rear bench seat ..door panels dash blablabla ..

and i have already honda prelude nice bucket seats in it ..i was planning to cover them with the same design then the boca raton was ...but now that i found my exact interior with the front bench seat that is nearly pefection....im confused !

i always wanted to do a kind of sleeper thing with my car , but its true that with my camshaft and sound that i have well forget about it there , but still if the car 's parked out ...and you see a plain jane white duster with a burgundy bench seat .it looks original thats for sure .

my question is , since i want to have a nice street/strip kind of bracket car , and im planning to drive it a lot on the street , do you think im better of with the buckets that are already in or to put back my car as it was ... with the rare combo of boca raton interior and the bench seat ( have to cut a whole inside to have my shifter in place , scs cheetah shifter on the floor )

do i go with my buckets .. or i switch for *my original bench seat in it ????? )

I prefer the original bench versus the bucket's.
 
The bench doesn't appear to have a fold down arm rest and will make a floor shifter hard to reach also.

The stuff you are buying along with what you already have may provide enough material to recover the Honda buckets. A local upholstery shop might be willing to help you. Any other way to make the Honda buckets match would cost a bunch of coins.
So... there's another option to smoke over.
 
Are you building your car for you or for us? Whats more comfy on ur butt as u drive the car? Whichever u do, keep both. Minds change over time.
 
The notch, if done right could look fine I would think. Here's a pic of one on some other car. That interior is so mid-70's that you gotta love it.
