Leather Seats! (what's 56k?)

CDRoot · 10-23-2007, 04:37 PM

Hey guys, I found this seller on ebay and he sells leather seat covers for the civic. You take off ur existing seat fabric and replace them with the leather. I messaged a guy who bought them from the seller and asked him to send me some pics of it. He said that it was easy to install. Group buy anyone???

No way, go katzkin or go home, that is my take. Leather is too much of an investment to be ebaying for a cheaper product. This is one of those things where you do it right or don't do it at all.

Any leather > wear prone alcantara.

It does look nice... seems like a big job taking off our present fabric to swap the leather. Looks nice in the pics, but I would have to actually feel the leather. Some leather looks nice until you touch it. Anyways, good find & keep up updated if you hook up.

What about the side airbags?

Bro I redid the fabric on my 95 civic to black leather....it was a pain in the azz.....The finished product was great but a pain in the azz nonetheless

From ebay: "The two front leanbacks have the special breakaway stitching for side airbag deployment."
