A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Acura TL, 2004 to 2008. Part number SB258.
The third generation TL, and the best of them. We list three TL brackets and none interchange: 1996 to 1998 is SB205, 1999 to 2003 is SB179 and this is SB258.
The Type S
The 3.5 V6 Type S is what people build. It came with a six speed manual, a limited slip differential and Brembo brakes, which was an unusually serious specification for a car most people thought of as a comfortable Honda saloon.
That is where the seat becomes the limit. A standard TL seat is built for covering distance quietly, and the moment you use the Type S properly you are bracing against it rather than steering.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Acura TL. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
