Im looking for a kit for my crx. does anyone know of anyone that makes one?

 

subscribed, I have an annoying tear in my seat.

 

Yes, a place on ebay has some. They are from Canada. I been doing auto upholstery for ten years, and have to say they fit pretty nice. Crx seats are one of the hardest seats to uphloster. Katzkin is the best in the business and will not tackle these seats. I've tried to get them to, but they won't.

 

If you're not looking for the stock cloth then search "CRX seat cover emboss" on Ebay. They're leather-like covers made by STR. Quality is good since I've had them for a year and are still mint.

 

those look dope

 

i have these, they are alright better than old torn stuff.

but u can repair bolster wear while the seats torn down!

 

i kinda like that but trying to stay way from leather.

 

the ultimate DIY kit....





In all seriousness tho, finding a non-leather replacement for a stock seat is very hard to come by in a premade kit. I'm playing around now with my own upholestry, so buy a junker seat and practice. its the only way to find out if you have the paitence to do it.

 

That leather kit looks pretty good actually but I would worry about quality with that kind of thing.

What I did was enlist the help of my grandmother. I torn down the seats then ripped all the seams, made a pattern from the material and then cut new/sow it together. It's harder than it sounds but not impossible. The hardest part was the plastic edging along the seats is stiff and thick so you want to get a really thick thread and make sure you have the right foot for your sewing machine.

 

not to threadjack, but i'm curious if anyone has seen any aftermarket foam for our seats??? any other options for replacing those worn out and dystroyed side bolsters???

I have not seen any replacement foam in the aftermarket. I'm sure a good upholstery shop could carve out some new foam. I have not seen anything you can buy off the self and put in except from Honda. And that is getting limited too.

Jacoop86 good to see you around

 

Just went cheap right now with some duplicolor vinyl paint just to get me by for a couple of months until i get some fake racing seats.

 

I went through this dilema too but after looking at my limited options I went the reupholstery route. Granted these are HF seats but I know the Si seats can be done just as easy.

How they look from the outside...nice and black/gray not blue!


Some close up pics...what appears to be white is really just the material nap (or fuzz), if it's in one direction it looks white with the camera flash but it's all black. Also has some fuzz on it that I'll get off with a lint roller once I clean it all up.

I like how they kept the stock lines in the inserts just like the OEM seats.

^^^^ i like this, considering getting them for my CRX, but when i searched it in Ebay, i read in the description, about a zipper? .. is there like a zipper, i just wanna see/check where this zipper is located? i wanna make sure it doesnt go right up that back of the seat, that would be tacky to me..

if anyone knows?

 

do those ebay covers have the back pocket on the seats? says in the listing to remove the old cover which includes the pocket i believe

 

you do have to remove the old cover
no they don't have a pocket and the zippers on the inside of the head rest section you can't even see it.
prepare to spend at least 2 hours a seat and a second hand is almost a must. and have extra foam to stuff in the cover to fill out spots. also some custom fitting and cutting its involved its definitely a task but its worth it.
i should a never sold mine

 

k Thx for the info =D
definantly probably gonna get these, or the cheap Bomz racing bucket seats.. lol idk

That is serious bidness!!! how much for one of these kits?

 

$135 for the single stitch either model 1 or 2 or $160 for either model with double stitch like in the pictures. this will also include the foam repair kits. Trust me its a great deal and great results let me know if you want to purchase these

 

When i bought my car, it had reupholstered seats that are leather with the factory black/red cloth in the middle. They look amazing and have lasted very well since 2004. I'll snap some pictures when i can. Only wish the leather had the red stitching. Not sure where they were done.
