WTF? What are Canadien leather seats? What about the Japanese leather seats that Preludes come with from the factory in JAPAN?

NO SEATS FOR YOU... the SE seat nazi
You best bet is to look in Canadian scrap yrds or go straight to honda Canada. There is a Huge Honda junkyard somewhere near Montreal

There are subtle differences. I have the SE, so I can tell you thats its preforated and has slack so you don't stretch and wear out the leather as quick.

The Type S leather looks similar to the ones found in the 2000 SHs? Doesn't seem to be preforated and very tight. But looks like it would hug you better? not sure! Gotta ask one of the Type S'ers here!

Showspeed may be able to get you perfed seats. I emailed him about them but don't have the money right now.

If you do not want the heated version (need harnesses and whatnot too) contact www.egclassic.com. I have E&G Classic leather in my 99 Base SS on stock seat bases and am very pleased with them. They can supply them with or without perforations and they are made to stretch just enough. That's what I have and the driver seat has been modified to put me lower (helmet clearnace)without doing anything to the leather-just changed the springs underneath.
And for those who don't know-the USA version of the 5th gen never had leather from Japan. It is a dealer install from a 3rd party supplier other than E&G.

not a ton, but i think you would be surprised. hey, right now it's snowing. and it gets quite cold down here.

jc836 · 01-29-2002, 06:13 PM

Heater parts-contact James Chan at www.performance-evolution.com. Maybe he can get them for you-but be warned it won't be cheap. Personally-I've lived without one here in Pittsburgh.

TimbES3 · 01-31-2002, 12:08 PM
