I have a Sparco Torino 2 and a Roadster in all black... and they are all splotchy grey and green now. They sun-faded like NO OTHER. It looks horrible now. They are 3 years old and Sparco says that they all fade and there's nothing you can do about it.

The Civic Coupe Limited Editions over here come with leather seats and I'm trying like hell to find a set that isn't going put me in both the poor and the dog house.

Have you thought about replacing the entire interior carpet with a different color? Check these guys out. I'm ordering a new interior when I get back.

Yeah, a type r red interior would be the sex. Nothing else matches it though and it would look goofy with my seats. If I had some recaros that were solid black or had red trim, it'd be a different story. But I like the black carpet, it doesn't stain

 
Rep Power: 265

it stains, just cant see it without a black light

jk andy. you could sell your sparcos and do a nice type-r interior. i definitely think it would look amazing.

 
Rep Power: 351

Nah, I just got those seats. I like the black/grey, I wouldn't want to change it.

 
Rep Power: 361

well if you are looking for a nice boot. this is where i got mine.

i have a skunk2 **** now. with a boot adapter so they mate up.

i see since u said u got black and gray going on in the car, you can do black leather boot, and gray stitch. that would look hot, my boot but with gray stitch.

i'm think you should get your shift boot custom done in the same fabric that your bought for your back seats...like black with a grey trim/thread, so that everything matches and the red doesnt clash.

dang steve you beat me to it... i was waiting for someone else to say it...lol

 
Rep Power: 265

what other kinds of red accents are you going to have to tie in the red H on the steering wheel?

 
Rep Power: 351

The entire dash. All of my gauges are red, as well as the cluster.

Here are some updated pics of the interior:




Next on the list is the rear seats once my black fabric finally comes in. I think I will pull out the stock shift boot and have them make a new one with grey thread. I will be getting the trim panels repainted as well, I think I'm going to try and match paint to the same grey in the seats and also have the door handle trim painted as well.

I've also been debating about the same color carpet, which would look really nice with the OEM black floor mats.

What about clusters? I know the 04-05 are totally different and require repinning, but which one is accented in red? I'd like to do that swap. Also, what are some nice pedals to use? Someone posted a link to some but give me suggestions for more.

Then all that I'll have left with the interior is the trunk setup which I'm cringing at, due to the cost...

Black fabric came in today, woot! Hopefully this week I can get in and drop off the seats and figure out what to do with the door panels. 5 meters of fabric is an assload. Seriously, I could do the trunk and back seat of at least 2 civics with just one roll.

WOW!!! thats crazy!

Ok, rear seats and fabric are getting started tomorrow. Should have the seats and shift boot done up by friday afternoon.

If you don't want to undertake the cluster repinning (and want to keep the car's legitimate mileage) you might consider just swapping the face to a black one, if you can find one. I just changed mine, the swap took maybe 15 minutes. You might have to put some LEDs in place of the incandescent bulbs if you want them to light up red to match, but for daytime lighting, it matches the black interior so much more:



As far as the rest of the car goes, I think it looks great. I mean, the accented interior isn't my style, but it's not bad.

 
Rep Power: 274

^^ exactly how did you do that?? where did you find the clear face? thanks!!

 
Rep Power: 389

I have a set of white face gauge overlays for an 01 ex gauge cluster

 
Rep Power: 291

Mine came like that stock.

04-05 look really clean, that's going to be the route I go, I don't really mind repinning, just a pita and more money.

 
Rep Power: 274

well you know what.. i'm not even thinking.. i just wanna change mine from the blue/purple one to the red one.... i think its the 03-05 ones....

I'm not sure what you mean by clear face... But here's the thread:

Dang. Those turned out nicely. Now that they are in the car can you tell much of a difference between front and back?

 
Rep Power: 351

No, not at all.

 
Rep Power: 277

Are those the stock seats? Who did the fabric?

 
Rep Power: 351

Yes, they're stock. The fabric is authentic sparco jacquard fabric. I had a very good upholstery shop do them. They did all of that in one day.
