2003 Honda Accord - Leather swap?
My 2003 Accord has cloth and I wanted to swap in leather, my cloth's are manual adjustment and the leather's are mostly power I can't find a manual set. How would I do the swap? has anyone done it?

I doubt very much the leather covers would fit on the cloth seats, so your best option may be to get the covers from an aftermarket company. Are you planning to change the door panels to leather also? Switching to leather, will cost you, that's for sure. It would cost me about $600 just to replace the driver's side seat cover (seat cushion and seat back).

Here in canada it's pretty cheap im looking at 250-300 for a full set of leather's front and back. But not sure how to go about the manual to electric conversion or if I should just swap the entire rail's over

My guess is, the bottom of the power seat is going to be totally different from the manual seat, and doing a switch would be difficult, but who knows? $250-300 for the factory leather? I find that hard to believe. This (link below) is what an online dealership wants, just for the driver's seat covers, not including headrests. And that's much lower than dealership prices. Where are you getting the leather from?

Actually believe it or not I found a mint set off a collision car at a auto wrecker yard, by the look of that break down it look's like I'll have to disassembly the seat and put the leather onto a manual base OR grab a harness to from from the seat under the carpet to the dash somehow I'm more or less wondering if someone has one this so they can help me out with a "walkthrough"

I honestly dont think it would be difficult to mount them on the actual car as the mounting location onto the chassis is the same. Honda isnt going to make the chassis different if its cloth (non auto seat ) or leather(auto seat). the seat has a female connector that goes to the motors under it. You would probably be good by getting the seat as well as the male plug+harness running up to the fuse panel.
