Default Need Leather Seats

Definitely need new leather front seats.

Is there a cheap place to buy leather seats rather than spend $500-$600 or more from a dealer?

What about the ones on EBAY the slip on things, i'm not talking about a 20 dollar kragen/pepboys store slip ons the one that fits like a glove. Even comes with some two tone colors. Anyone have this on their car?

Excellent leather interiors, but they're not cheap.

Katzkin specializes in full leather interiors, although if you just need covers for your front seats to match the OEM leather, they've probably got that too.

You can order the OEM seat leathers from the dealer or the online parts place for Honda OEM parts ofyour choice.

And the HELM manual shows you the steps needed to do the job yourself.

Just need some hog ring pliers, etc.

How much does the OEM leather seat cost?

And how much does it cost for the dealer to install it?

are you talking about the iggee seat covers? I have been wondering about them myself. I have been trying to do some research and I get mixed reviews. Some people really like them and some people don't care for them.

BENBOY12, i' pretty sure we're talking about the same thing on EBAY.

I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but my front leather seats reached it's life. And i'm not sure if i want to spend $600-700 with OEM and install. I just want something that would look nice and simple.

About the reviews as you can see nobody seems to have one.

So, to anybody that looks at this post does any of you guys has this or even someone that you know has it?

Thanks BENBOY12!

That looks really nice.

About the install, I'm not a very crafty man, but i think i could do the install.

If i take it to a local shop how much do you think they would charge to install?
