starting in 01, side airbags came standard on ex cloth on up....98-99 i dont think side airbags were even offered...00 they came on the V6 only

 

I've also been looking for OEM leather seats for my 2002 coupe. I'm not sure if the sedan and coupes seats are the same. If I had to guess, I'd say no.

 

I have been installing a leather kit in my 00 accord. I got a kit on ebay for $250. If you are looking at replacing the upholstery, rather than replacing the seats, it is hard work. First I tried using a wimpy hog-ring plier that I got from JCWhitney catalog -- didn't work well. Then I got the Bostitch P7 stapler which works pretty well. Still, with some of the staples you make three or four attempts until you actually get it fastened. I busted one of the zippers on the seat-back and am waiting for that to be re-sewn. Otherwise I finished the back and passenger seats. I can't get the bolts out of the drivers' seat I think the dealer put lock-tite on them when they pulled the seat out for something else a couple years ago. I've tried liquid wrench and that doesn't help. Parts store told me I needed air tools so I'll take it to a garage for that. I haven't started on the door panels yet. I am going to try heating the plastic rivets to remove them, instead of cutting them off. Anyway I think I have about 10 hours of hard work into installing these, so far.

With the '00 models, the coupe has a 60/40 split rear seat. I believe the sedan has a center fold-down section. Also I believe the headrests changed in 01 from a solid headrest to one that has a hole in the center.
