Default Q?:Black/Red interior, with only black seats?

I see some Honda's with red carpet/door panel vinyl, and black/red seats. Others, the seats are completely black. Is this an indication of a vandalism/repair, or are some models just like that?

I don't recall any red/black combo's where the seats were all black. The latter years had black headrests and side bolsters but the centers were still red.

Honda never offered the car from the factory with black seats and a red interior.

Don't let the seat swap spook you from buying the car though. It doesn't de-value the car at all. You can always find someone on s2ki that might swap with you to get it back to OEM.

^I've seen quite a few of these swappings. No such thing as red seats being valued a lot more. In fact, I have seen a lot of people want black seats.
