Cloth VS Leather...?
Well, still attacking the power window swap in my civic. Tore up all the carpet, all the seats except the drivers seat are out. My car pretty much has NO interior except the drivers seat, dash, and drivers door panel. Everything is stripped. I needed new carpet because for some reason the guy before me never cleaned it and it looked like junk, plus he cut a big section out.
So i found a place on ebay to get black carpet for $115...not too bad. I wanted to upgrade the seats also. The stock CX seats just dont cut it. Im not up for the design, and want to go black interior so thats not really going to work too well with tan seats. I cant decide between getting cloth seats or leather. The ONLY cloth seats i would get would be the ITR seats. The ones with the red stiching, very very expensive, but it would be worth it in my opinion. But i dont think thats practical since i would never let anyone eat, drink or pretty much sit on the seats in fear of them getting dirty
.
So i was thinking leather. Now the Integra LS, and GSR seats will bolt right up, same with the RSX??? And is there any other cars that i can take leather seats from and stick them in there. Talking cars besides hondas or is that a no no?

Im almost positive you can't just take any seats from honda/acura and they will bolt right up. LS seats are not leather, just cloth and not worth it IMO. If i were you, i would just get some GSR leather seats and call it a day! forget about the ITR.
Im not too sure about RSX seats, but they do however come with stock Recaro's. Either way, with that option, Recaro's are expensive no two-ways about it! GSR leather all the way bud.

Oh sorry, my bad, but i know the GSR is not the only one with leather. Is it the GS then? I owned a 98 GSR but it had cloth, my friend has either GS, not sure if its leather or cloth though.
Ill probably aim for GSR seats though.
And im pretty sure integra and civic seats are interchangable...when pulling the interior out of my cx today it mounted exactly like my gsr did. Never been in a RSX, so cant have a say on that.

The GS also came with leather. You have to be careful though, I think Integra seats only bolt up to coupe and sedan Civics, not hatches. Also RSX seats do not bolt up to Civics. Somebody a while back did a DIY RSX seat install, you should search for it if you're interested.
The LS special edition and GS came with leather seats.
The RSX seats will require you to weld the rails from the civic onto the RSX seats for fitment. There may be other minor details, but it isn't really worth the effort, IMO.

Thanks everyone, i think ill just stick with the gsr leather....hehehe good new just finally sold my konig rims. Now i have enough for my motor and tranny. Next just need a couple hundred more (grand) to get my wiring harness, ecu, motor mounts, radiator, axles and ill be good.
