beautiful... are those stock seats, just re-upholstered??

and is that a carbon fiber kit i see as well?

Quistor · 09-19-2001, 07:05 AM

I paid around $590.00 and i got it from CFI (leatherseats.com) They are factory seats rereupholstered. I did the back one myself as it is fairly sraight forward. But the front ones i took to an upholstery shop to have done. I'm from Maine, and yep thats a carbon fiber kit

Looks nice man.

What other colors do they have? I was either thinking racing seats or ones like that

Looks similar to SteveV's car.

yes, similar, but my inserts don't extend to the edge of the seat. who makes your kit?

mine is an E&G classics kit. I could of got the H emblem too on the front seats but told them not to:

steve i'm that guy that emailed you back and forth a few times. Mine are made by Custom Factory interior or Leatherseats.com. I'm happy with the quality. I got kind of frustrated trying to do the front seats myself. I would suggest letting someone that know what they are doing do the install. There is a lot more to it then i anticipated. I also ordered some dove grey vinyl to have the door panels done. Steve do you have any pics of your panels?

very nice indeed,
how much is the labor cost of putting those kits on?

99ludelover · 09-21-2001, 06:45 AM

Looks good but why is that seat on the wrong side?
Should the buckle be on the other side?

Haha...i was wondering if anyone would notice that. I took the passenger side and the back seat to the upholstery shop first and left them there. I drove around with just the drivers side for a few days then whren he called me and let me know that they were done i dropped off my drivers seat and just bolted the passenger seat into the drivers side for another 2 days untill i could get to the shop to pick up my other seat. I just didn't want to be without my car for several days while he finished it all up.

oh, that was you...then I'm glad things worked out for you, they look pretty good. I had some vinyl for my door panels but the shop I went to said they couldn't redo the vinyl since the door panel is all one piece. Instead they were able to dye it white for me. here's a pic:

I just got a quote from them and they said it was $1299 w/ install> That still seems high.

Looks real good though

Steve V, Nice car! I had the same exact plans for my car. But, I didn't do it. My car is still bone stock!

Thanks! keep it stock, this hobby is too much $$$

xratedSH, the steering wheel is the Mugen FG-360 model,it is no longer made. I do have the factory Honda carbon fiber dash kit and I have no problems with my console piece. I just stuck it on the first time and it's been holding since.
