what's the angle your looking for towards modding up your car???

you want bling bling, glamor = leather
you want sporty... -----> sparco

in the end leather will get you "gold diggers"
and sparcos' get you import models

i want an import model so im gonna get sparco or momo

I personally don't like the seats in the car (too thin and flat), so I wouldn't cover them with leather. So I plan on getting MOMO Street Racer GT's (like the Torinos). It depends on if you find the current seats comfy or not that should also be factored into the decision. If you change the fronts, either get covers for the back, or have them re upholstered in a patternless fabric (or buy an O3 EX back seat that comes with no pattern). As for the doors, get seats that match the doors, or change the fabric insert in the door to match the seat.

Hm, 'gold diggers' in a civic with leather?

hahah, a good one, I like my car, but please, I know the limits, gold diggers arent attracted to cars below 50-60k IMO, and definitely not Japanese cars.. you gotta be rolling in a German ride at least.

sovereign i'm having the same debate. I dont know...but I just absolutely love the look of staring thru the front windshield and seeing 2 nice red Sparco seats ( = What I would do is this.

Get 2 Sparco Torinos for the front, and do custom interior for the remaining of the car. I dont know...custom leather looks so cheap sometimes....especially 2 tone ones. Only good 2 tone leather I have seen is by Katzin. I like not perforated smooth leather the best!

if you'll need your backseat, then go with leather all around. if u don't care about the back seats, i'd also say get the sparcos for the front and either get rid of the backseats or put a sound system setup over them.
