thanks for the help, but thats not what i need. my leather is brand new from the dealer. when they rewrapped my 2006 seats. it appears that there is excessive material that did not get stretched over the cushining. ill have to take pics tomorrow to show you guys what i mean.

thanks.

If your existing seats are older the bolsters are probably worn down a bit. The new leather is going to look a bit loose on them unless you had it profesionally done at an upholstry shop. You can try a heat gun, but becareful. Id take them to an upholstry place to have the redone.

BTW how much where the new seat covers?

well, i just got off the phone with the honda dealership and they told me that these seats were brand new including the cushioning. im gonna take it to a upholstery shop today to see what they can do. i was able to trade my 06 seats for new 07 seats.

sorry but isn't the 06 seat(without the hole in the headrest) suppose to have a texture? i think honda change the texture and color(duller) for the newer s.

which isn't a bad thing consider our smooth leather seat looks like crap after a few year or **** sitting


post picture ftw
