Should I get new s2k seats or should I just re cover them and how? And any ideas kn the pricing?

 

I just had the interior redone on mine. New full leather seat covers (not just the perforated bits), with MUCH higher quality leather than the Honda stuff (which is mostly pleather/vinyl). Went with two tone in the seats, black with red inserts in the seats. Also did the door inserts in red leather. Red deviated stitching throughout. $1400 included adding seat heaters. As a side perk, the car has that brand new leather smell, even though it's 11 years old.

 

Honda doesn't sell "new" seats. They sell you all the parts needed to make a new seat. Total cost per seat ~$5000.00. So, do you really want new seats?

 

No one can tell you what you should do. We can't even make recommendations when you don't provide a budget, preferences, priorities, etc. Shop around and pick what seems to suit you best. Look for used seats. If you decide to reupholster I'd highly recommend JPM and there are plenty of threads you can refer to if you're interested in JPM and other similar vendors.

Like anything else, if you can't DIY then find an auto upholsterer. Ask for recommendations in your regional subforum. You can use the upholsterer to do everything. You can order replacement leather from places like JPM and then use a local shop to install. You can buy covers that slip over the existing seats like Clazzio. You're definitely not the first to consider this so look over the existing threads and see if any of the options suits you best.

Find recommended vendors and inquire with the vendors. Search. If the s2ki search isn't yielding results then use a site restricted Google search.


You'll find a lot of threads in the Interiors subforum where this really should have been posted.

 

Clazzio seat covers, problem solved. For about $300 they are an excellent purchase - you can install them yourself; come with high quality leather and different look options; made specifically to fit the S seats. Check them out from a vendor on here...I think Go Tuning has them on their website:

Re: seat covers. Earlier S2000 seats have an opening behind the head. Seat covers slide over, and cover the hole. That was one (of several) reasons why I preferred to go have the seats re-done instead of just adding covers.

 

The only reason I haven't bought Clazzio seat covers is because of that goddamn opening. I'll probably end up buying new (used) seats.

 

Have you guys seen this? They also offer ap1 seat covers http://youtu.be/OUTu6P0zuks

 

Those look reaaaaaly nice. Does anyone have them in their AP1? Interested in reactions, and pics of the headrest.

 

Those seats look great, I like the red stitching.
