Default Anyone installed leather?

Wondering if anyone has installed leather into their 8th gen Civic. I'm curious of how you dealt with the fabric on the headrest as it doesn't seem to just be a slip on cover.

Someone out there (saw them when the car was in its first year) has a VERY nice RR Si coupe with dealer installed leather, it looked like it came from the factory it was such good quality. Too bad its not an option on the Si.

An acura dealer by me has a FBP Si with tan leather, it looks terrible. Maybe black would have been better.

Black WOULD have been better indeed. Looks like they did a pretty good job on the leather....but the color is just wrong for that car.

It looks alright. The Civic thing above the Si really ruins it for me. Leather is still out of place.

I was offered this option on my Si and actually test drove one with leather. It was cheap Honda leather.

I'd prefer the same leather as OJ's Bruno Mali's!
