quick question about leather.
 

does anyone have leather seating on their vic? the one closest to my area is charging me around $1050 installed, taxes, parts and labor included. is that a good price or too much? i really want to have leather cuz it's just good to have it. but u think that price is worth it? for that price range i could buy a whole leather furniture set for my living room.

wow.:eek: to me, that's just ridiculous


i wouldnt pay that much for leather... but im not a big fan of leather either.:shrug:

that sounds about the same amount the dealership would have charged you to begin with

Yeah that is a whooolleeee lot of money just for leather seats. If you really want leather though thats cool. It does sound like its about what the dealership would charge for leather.

Look through ebay.
Once in a while Classic Soft Trim will have complete leather sets for around $250 shipped.

Heres a different one available right now though.

just buy RSX leather seats

when i bought my vic i asked for leather seats, told them i would not by the car without it. they put it in for 600. and i didnt even try to negotiate the price

You can always go for a Katzkins kit for about $600, and install it yourself. The only hard part about it is the door inserts.

Leather is all about the install, which is why there's a big difference between the $250 DIY kit and your $1050 quote.

What leather kit would your place be using? If it's Katzkin, I'd say it should be more like $900, but $1050 is not that ridiculous.

so you think having leather in our car worth it for that price?

i got a quote for 700. i think its worth it.

If you do some searching you will find your answers.... Here are just a few on this web site that have custom (other than RSX seats) leather interior in the Civic...

Ask them and how much they paid....
Personally I would buy the SI or RSX seats... Much cheaper route.
Good Luck...

man everyone should rep this guy hes a genious ^^

i don't see much people selling their rsx seats here compared to the west coast. can i buy them at the dealership? so can the rxs leather seats fit the front seats and rear seats? i know the SI's fit in the front seat. also, i don't know how to install them who do you think can install them, regular car shop?

dude finda dead cow and skin it

^^^ turd.. haha :D

btw: can rsx rears fit the 01 civic? i know front can since a couple of guys here already did switch. how about materials? what materials should i consider to be included inorder to install them. brackets, etc.? mah bad i'm uber noob at this.

my buddy Bob (dopes607) has leather and I believe hes trying to go back to stock. Hit him up, hell prolly sell it to you. :)

You can get a nice set of Sparco's or Bride seats for that much... I'm not a fan of leather either. Good luck!

when you buy leather for our vic, do yall just get the leather seats? no heat seaters? i also want to know what stuff do i need inorder for me to install it. damn i have like a bunch of question in every post, but nobody answers them. LOL

ok anyone can answer you know! i aint refraining anyone from answering... damn that's desperate. :help:
bwuahhahaha :lol:

check the link in my sig. for 700 you can get leather recaros and even do the rear with rsx parts.

For $450 - $650 get leather RSX seats that are a thousand times more comfy than OEM and look great!

hey man tried to pm you back but your box is full... the RSX fronts are easy, not sure about the rears but there are a couple threads on here about it

^^^ oh shit, thanks i need to clean it up.. holap.

edit: ok cleared my old pm's. pm's are now back on service.

Yo Praning my advice for you is to just get a custom made leatherette seat cover from the Philippines for your vic. I believe its not gonna cost you more than 200 bucks. Here's my seat covers :tup:

lol pitch mroe info on wher ein the philipines :| i would lvoe some covers but i think im jsut gonna get blue or blackr acing seats. iw ant cmrfot more then leather for that price

so when yall bought/switch to leather did yall install the seat heaters with it or just the leathers?

My brother paid 950 to get his all installed in his Camry, front and back seats, and it was really well done. We found a cheaper quote, 600, but checked out some of their cars they had done already and they looked kinda generic compared to the other place. It was worth having the more expensive job. At any rate, check sample of the shop you are going to. You dont want to pay all that cash and have it look budget.

BTW, we never even thought of seat heaters...

Its not worth the few hundred dollars! I just sat on leather that was under 15 degrees F and it was cold only for a minute. Not as bad as people say.

ehhhhhh thats a good price for a NJ....... place by my house.... they charge $1500..... i would get suede
