i havent seen the red/blk in person for 06, but those pics look right on. 06 has this pasty, light dusty look to the finish of the leather.

It might just be me, but the leather looks the same as in previous years. It may be the fact the car is new and still has that 'new leather' look to it.

Have you seen one in person? The leather has a very different texture.

Mine is only an 01 but I doubt this fact will be different, I had the red/black interior and if you're thinking a nylon based carpet is going to "match" the red leather you're out of luck. The red carpet is considerably lighter in shade than the red seats. Honestly, if red's your thing, it isn't overly noticable and they match as much as can be expected, but getting an exact shade match, especially with such a bright color as red is pretty impossible.

look at the black leather parts. if that's not ASHY than i dont know what is. it looks like there's baby powder sprinkled all over it. i'm wasn't saying it was bad, it was just confirming that the ebay pics were truly 06 seats since they had the ashy texture.

No, I haven't seen one in person. I know the leather in my car now has a different look and texture than when it was new. It's getting more and more shiny as I sit on it more, no doubt from day to day wear. My passenger seat still has the original look to it. I wasn't aware Honda changed the texture of the leather on the seats. Elistan, is the change for the better?

Thanks for the photo.

Is it me or does it look like the Red on the Door in the 2nd photo is not the same red as the seats?

Aren't most guys some part color blind?
So maybe just my wife will notice...
