the dealer where i bought my civic had a hybrid civic with leather, very nice, the leather was a perfect fit with no loose spots, looked like they were factory even tho it was done by their shop. cost between $1500-2000.
Civics don't come with leather seats from the factory.
They are reupholstered (sp) by Katzkin, Classic Soft Trim, or whatever other shop the dealership might have a contract through.
Your best bet is to look on eBay because sometimes a rep from CST sells unsold/returned/etc. leather kits for our Civics for less than $250 shipped.
Mind you this is without installation, which can run another hundred or two or even three.
If not, then call up some local shops who may do it for you for maybe around $600-$700.
Partial leather / vinyl will run cheaper also.

the reason why its so cheap everyone, is because its pleather.......its all vinyl....having worked at a trim shop for 2 years we installed a ton of katzkin kits and about 75% of them were pleather

If you were willing to buy from someone in Canada, you could try and find a set of 01+ Acura EL seats. The premium model came stock with heated leather seats which are the same size and shape as those on the 01+ Civic sedan (not sure if the coupe uses the same size rear seats).
I would agree with some of the other responses though, it would probably be cheaper for you to find a good shop in your area to re-upolster your stock seats in leather.

no racing seats for me, i wanted to keep my side airbags.
rsx-s seats will end up costing me $450, and that includes the shipping i paid. and they have airbags, almost bolt up the same, and all the plugs are identical. much better seats, IMO, and they clean so much better than the cloth
