I think you can buy replacement oem seat covers from honda, but they may get a little pricey, I don't know. Otherwise aside from dyeing the fabric there really isnt much else to do.

i suggest getting Solar Guard or Huper Optik tint... it keeps heat out way better than anyother tint (but more expensive)

all i did was go online and order some new interior parts online = new interior

thats interesting you recomend "solar guard", theres a shop right down the street where i plan on getting my windows tinted at that features that brand...i've never heard of that tint before so i guess i'll take your word.

Solar gaurd is a good brand. Make sure whatever tint you get is metallic based, they last longer, don't peel, and don't turn purple. That won't fix any existing damage, but it will prevent furthur damage.
