If you guy's are really interested, I can check out my local dealer and see if he

can price out just the covers ( and headrests )... With your exchange on the dollar,

you guy's can probably get the whole ball of wax for next to nothing..

Then you can switch the fabric and keep your old stuff incase anyone wants to

buy your ' stock ' R

I think those seats are ugly as hell. I personally don't like red seats in a car. I rather have the US ITR, or the JDM black recaros with red stiching. Plus your car wont stick out like a sore thumb.

it isn't going to be cheap. i had a friend with a civic who wants our seats so he went to the acura parts department to have it priced out. for both front seats it came to like $5000 CAD for all the individual parts.
I didn't believe it at first, but I needed to replace the cloth cover on the bottom seat on my passenger side and that piece alone was $400+.

$5000 CAD Is that just for the covers or the complete seats?

I think the red seats are pretty ugly. I'd rather have the USDM seats anyday.

Those red seats in the 2001 Type R's still doesn't make up for the fact that we never got black R's in Canada and yellow only in 2000. If anything I think Americans got more than us Canadians did.

I guess it depends on what you want. I really wanted a white Type R in 2000. I settled for yellow.
