There's a thread about the sedan in some markets having optional leather...in the UK it has it. So if you could find some and you have a sedan, then yes you can fit some OEM leather.

EDIT: As for the coupe, i dont know...RSX leather fronts and rear re-trim maybe?

The Canadian 1.7EL has leather seats. Should bolt right into the USDM Civic.

my cousin "forced" the dealer into doin her seats in her 05 coupe in leather...she bought the car and from day one it was ****** up, so they offered her free carwashes to make up for it, she gladly declined and said if they didnt put leather in her car she would want her money back (florida lemon law)... so they put leather in her car and even did the center console and door panels

Will the seats go directly in without taking brackets off?

When I was looking for a car, before I bought my 'vic, I saw a Black EM2 for sale on Auto Trader with black leather seats, from the factory. Honda logo on them and everything. It was sold before I bought mine, though, so I don't know if it was just a clean aftermarket job, or what.

It was a custom job. No such factory option exists on the EM2.

An RSX leather seat is a direct bolt in.

There again, no such option from the factory existed for the 7th Generation of the Honda Civic.

I'm going to have to look into the rsx seats cause those are pretty clean. How much do you think they run for?

Rsx seats would be a good idea. Check up with someone with a typeS that has swaped their seats.

Must be an expensive option. I've never seen any leather OEM seats though...unless they were a custom job.
