Default quick question on the 5th gen

I am trying to find out, if a HID light kit, was ever available from the factory for the type SH. Also was leather offered from the factory, i know ive seen it on some preludes, but i was under the impression that was only on the JDM versions..?
thanks to whoever can help

No HID's from the factory, and no leather from the factory either. Leather was sometimes a dealer option, though.

i don't know if there's any truth to that statement. I know that HID's were not offered, but I'm pretty sure leather was. I got leather seats in mine, and i know several other luders who have leather seats as well. I know that all of these luders didn't have the dealers do this for them.

what you are really probably wondering is------ "can i get leather seats easily for my prelude?"--------and the answer is YES!

honda did not offer leather seats as an option in an effort to keep prices down. However, it was offered as a dealer installed option at many honda dealers. $1700 was the ticket to recover my seats. HIDs were not offered in any world market for the prelude. http://www.lightingillusions.com They can retrofit projectors into your headlight housings though. Very Clean!

IMO I don't think the leather holds up well. It gets too cold in winter time and too hot in the summer. Black leather in the sun will bake your ***. Stick with cloth--still looks great and durable. Get the HID's--I will never own another car without em! 8000K rules!

I love leather seats. My Probe GT had leather in it and I can't drive without it now. This Prelude I might be buying soon has black cloth interior If anyone in Michigan/Ohio has any leather seats they're wanting to get rid of...let me know

I hate leather! I rather have cloth because with leather you'll get sticky after a while if your legs or shoulder's have been touching it after a while.
