Installed some leather seats *lots of pics*
Hey fellas. I just got done installing my new leather seats. Seats are OEM out of a 01-02 EXV6 sedan. I'm sure someone will ask how much...I got them on ebay for $370 shipped. Driver is 8 way power, passenger is 4 way power.
I also got the leather center console armrest, and the seller threw in 4 Accord floormats.
Here's what they were like when I got started:
The seller wasn't lying when he said they needed cleaning. Every seat had grease on them.
Clean:
They really are in great shape once I got them cleaned up.
Installed:
New floormats:
Wiring:
Side note...not only do the leather seats own the cloth seats in looks and feel, but they squeeze my skinny ass a bit better too. Check it out:
Anyways, it's one of my favorite upgrades to my car so far. It just feels like a much nicer car now. Good upgrade for the little black sedan.

Way to go Schmiddy.
The EXV6 and EX-L's all used different power harnesses then either the V6 or the standard EX/LX from 2000.
In 2001 all EX and EX-L used same harness because of the Airbags. 2000 LX and EX non-leather are the same wiring harness.
Bottom line is installing EXV6 seats into a pre 01 Accord is way trick and would require a custom power run. The airbags are fine, leave them in the seats, however they will never fire
Looks like you got them powered though so enjoy.
