rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
anyone has the rsx leather seats in the front and the stock cloth in the back? do you think that would look funny?
Any ideas if you go rsx leather in the front, what you could do in the back besides rsx leather in the rear?
Also if anyone has pics of their interior with the leather front seats and cloth rear that would help with an idea if what it would look like.

hmm... heres the situation:
either rsx fronts for 200 or the whole set for 600 (or 400 if i go pick up). I like the leather look but I know im gunna have to custom the rears to fit.
I know the rears won't be able to fold down, but would it fold down like at all? not even if I unscrew something or what? I would just need one side to fold to unbolt some stuff in the trunk thats why.... so iono =/

Re: rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
spend the 400 extra on having the rears rewrapped, it shouldnt cost u much more than that, i got quoted 1000 for all of mine rewrapped, cuz the rsx rears dont fold at all from what i understand
Re: rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
I don't think it looks funny. My interior is all black so it's not that big of a deal. Just fold the seats down if it bothers you. 
or take them out!

Re: rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
they won't fold in the back of ours cause the rsx rears are 50/50 ours are 60/40. spend the money and get yours recovered. i got mine redone in black suede for 200 and the work was rushed to get done in 2 days do i could make it to NOPI last year. Picked em up on the way down to Atl.

Re: rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
RSX and Honda leather should be the same, as both are from the Honda parent company. Katzkin makes leather that installs on your factory seats in place of the factory cloth that will match the factory Acura leather. www.katzkin.com You can purchase just the rears from them for the Civic. I had fron and rear leather and it looked awesome when I still had the civic. Also, they'll send you a book of samples if you ask them, if you have doubts about the color by looking on the PC.

koo thanks for the pic. yeah it does look nice and it doesn't look that bad. i might take my time and just get the fronts and later wrap the rears
Re: rsx leather in front, but what in the back?
the rsx rear seats can be modded to fold down...i forgot how but theres a few threads about this already...u shouldve searched... i dont think it looks funny..i guess it depends how many people will be seeing ur rear seats.. if its not too many then i wouldnt care..

yeah true.. not many people sit back there... so don't know if it would be worth spending the extra money for the rears... just don't want the car to look funny.

I had leather rsx front seats and cloth back seats. It bugged the **** out of me and looked really strange, so I had the rears rewraped in leather along with my door panels and center console arm rest.

I got them rewrapped at an upholstry shop in Los Alamitos, California called Wahl's Auto Upholstry. They gave me a real good price on everything. Costed me somewhere around $350 for everything if I remember correctly.
