Default Looking for OEM quality '90 Si seat coverings.

My 1990 CRX Si drivers seat is finally going the route of all seat fabric. After years of the stuffing falling out today I discovered a small wear hole in the left bolster. Time for a replacement. Anyone know where you can buy OEM seat fabric? I am looking for as-new manufactured seat covering that, when I install them, will be the same as origional. Google isnt comming up with anything, how about you?

Got a scrap yard near you? If so go there ask if they have any. I know near me there is a Honda/Acura scrap yard. They let my friends and I in the back and we take the parts out ourselves. Saves us some money. I plan on picking up Two CRX SI seats to put in my civic because my drivers side seat is pretty messed up

Go to a real trim shop. They are the ones that you see on TV doing custom cars. We have one here that can match most anything you can give them. It is also possible that Honda still has some sets in the warehouse-doesn't hurt to ask .

As with most CRX bits, replacement covers have been out of production/availability for at a couple years.
The fabric manufacturer of the black ridged/corduroy on the side bolsters also quit making the stuff years ago.
The corduroy style is fairly common though. Most good upholsterers can find a color/texture match that's nearly identical. As long as you do both seats, it should be fine.

I have no idea on the center section. In a lot of seats its still salveageable.

I took the passenger seat out and I am having one of my buddies moms sew me some new covers out of black and perforated black leather. She is going to take the old seat cover and cut the sewing at the seams, trace it out on the new stuff, and then sew it back. Wala, good as new, but in black leather!
