except in Canada you can get the Acura EL 1.7 which comes with leather heated seats. If you're planning on keeping the civic style seats then maybe you can find them on Ebay...who knows.

I had mine done when Ibought mine, and the honda dealer did it. It cost me $1350 through them. hey bought the leather from katzkin. You can now buy the replacements in solids, two or three tone, made to fit our cars direct from katzkin.

www.katzkin.com

They use top notch leather. They'll even send you samples if you want to pick your colors with them. Just call them and request samples, and then pick colors, and call back and order. I think you can get then entire car for around $800 or so, at least last time I checked (front and rear seats). You remove your factory seat covers (the ugly *** cloth) and replace it with these. They're easy as cake to install, and it'll save you the money on labor. That's what the majority of leather shops would do anyway. Just make sure you request they send you a yard of extra leather to match so you can do your doors to match.

I've had mine since october of 2001. It's tighter than a frog's pu$$y still. And in great shape (minus the place where the theiver knocked my window out and sat in the seat, grinding glass into it, nicks and stuff, insurance deductable was more than the replacement cost). I've still got the nicked up one in there because I'm reupholstering my seats anyway eventually, no need to do it twice.

I am getting leather as well. A shop in Phoenix quoted my friend 1000 for his new 4 door accord. Thats not bad. He ended up gettin stuff dipped in CF and seats done in leather. But I am thinking for my coupe, I could call the same place and probably around 800-1000, and I bet they do an awesmoe job! Call different palces that do upholstery, even interior, and see what they can do for ya!
