To those that don't have leather seats, do you feel like kicking yourself in the *** for not getting it? They make the interior SWEET and its much better than the ******y black cloth seats with blue accents that I have. It was optional in 1998 and I opted not to get it for just $700-800 more.

I just want to vent, I just saw an nice GSR leather interior.

Yea I love my leather,but keep your eye out on Ebay,i saw not to long ago a whole set,seats front and rear,door panels,and arm rest for around 6 to 700$.In the picture they looked mint.Black Leather.

hate my leather. absolutely hate it.

i'd do a straight up trade but i hate working on my car also.

JL 74

for real?

battyx

I love my leather. I have non-power, black leather. They nice until I can afford Sparcos.

VTechie

Absolutely not-

Look, I think leather looks great and everything, but I had to consider two things in '97 when I bought my car:

1) They are freezing-*** cold in the winter
2) Eight hundred dollars. EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS!!

That was a lot of money for me at the time, esp. considering how much faster you can make the Integra go for $800.

Yea but when you scoop up your shorty to do the movie thing on a Friday night its nice to hop into some butter soft leather!!!!!!

KraZyCHOWMEIN

yes leather is kool.... but some recaros or sparcos would be nicer

Jesse H

For real. The leather in our Integras suck. At least in my 96. And it's not in bad shape, it's just not good quality leather. I've noticed the leather in my friend's 98 is much nicer, softer.

I condition my leather often also, so it's not that.

maggsgsr

thats right,they made it a little nicer,a little more cushion and more stitched wrinkles.I actually had 1 seat repaired and they leather guy told me it was good quality.My friends 95 has flat stiffer leather with almost no stitched wrinkes.Not as nice atleast my opionion.

my 2001 leather sux ***. its all hard and getting fucked up. grrrr

maggsgsr

I'll tell you whats crap,the new RSX leather has little wholes all over it,i would take my seats any day over those cheezy pieces.

JL 74

True, but the cloth seats with blue gay *** designs are one of the ugliest I've seen. I should have paid more attention back then in 1998. I really did not think much of the interior at the time.
So when I got the Path this year, I made sure there will be no regrets and got leather. Actually, all LEs have leather.

maggsgsr

Cool,does anyone here agree on the RSX,I'm not hatin i just think all the new TypeS's come with ugly as leather.CL,TL,and RSX.

battyx

Haha, I think that RSX's have an ugly *** interior period. It just looks really cheese ball to me.

Dirty GS-R

I hate my leather seats. As someone said before, they are freezing-*** cold in the winter and burning-*** hot in the summer. And I hate sliding around when taking a hard turn. I'm trying desperately to get Type R seats....much nicer IMO.

Since you guys are talking about leather seats, instead just get your cloth seats WRAPPED IN VINYL LEATHER! I think its cheaper and better! Might even last longer than conventional leather! Correct my if im wrong about the price.

Its just my thought!

I perfer Recaros! but leather Recaros are optional!

StinkyTofu

i actually love the RSX seats. They're so supportive and they look just like recaros. I think the material used to make those leather seats are better than what are used in our GSR's. =*(. Oh well the car is ugly though right?

auto-gs-king

Don't those little wholes keep the leather from getting hot and prevent your back from getting all sweaty? I personally think that the leather RSX seats were way nicer than the ones I had in my 99 integra. The leather is cheezy ( starting cracking in like a year), your *** slides around it, you get too hot and your back gets all sweaty, and I never thought they were soft at all. I'd take the cloth seats in my new prelude over the leather integra ones any day. I admit the pattern is cheezy in the integra but I would use that money toward some sparcos.

GSRgrrl

Which is exactly why I got itr front seats.

MachAF

I had leather seats in a previous car and I will NEVER get it agian.

I looks good and all, but whens its hot out, the seats get hotter then ****, and when its cold out they get colder then ****.

Also as others have said, you side around too much and your back gets sweaty as a ****.

That's why most car company's that put leather seats in there car's you have the option to get heated seats. I guess Acura never did that. I hate my cloth seats though it's like sitting on a plastic chair. Atleast leather is more comfortable and nicer looking.

93LSivic

Actually you are right on. Recaro makes the Rsx S seats. My brothers are so very comfortable and very supportive.
And YES, Recaro does make these seats!!

maggsgsr

The Integra never came with heated seats but other did,my boys TL has heated seats.
