Default Looking for Leather

I have a 6th gen accord (02) coupe and am looking for black leather seats, or just leather seats that I can re-dye. Anyway, I was wondering if the seats from an Acura CL would fit in my car without too much trouble? Thanks.

I believe the CL seats should fit.

I appreciate the response. Has anyone ever done this or something similar? I've seen Lexus leather seats in a Civic but I don't think they fit in there nicely in the beginning..

Why not just have leather added to your accord? or do you want seats from a different car?

You mean take it to a shop and have the seats re-upholstered? That's a possibility, but a costly one from what I've heard. I think actually buying all new seats would be cheaper (DIY installation) and better since Honda leather seats are always power (not that I mind manual but hey, why not power right?). I have been searching for leather seats from a coupe for a while now and so far no luck (gotten close a few times though) but now I have found a place that recycles Hondas and Acuras and there's a CL coupe with black leather seats. If anyone has done this or anything similar then input would be great.

i'd sell you my black leather stock '02 accord coupe seats (driver power, passenger manual and side impact airbags) for whatever it would cost me to replace them with sparco torinos.

While I'm interested so far (since i don't know any actual prices) that could end up being alot of money if you factor the S&H for your seats into the cost and then include the S&H for shipping the seats over my way. I'm located in California though so at least you're not halfway across the country. Then there's the cost of the torinos themselves. You'd be selling the two front seats and not the rear right?
