Default anyone have an 08 si with leather seats?

we just got a habanero into the shop with leather si seats. with the red stitch and the logos and everything. the car is from w. virginia. it looks nice.

i guess my question is how many of you have this "upgrade" and how much extra did it cost? post pics if you have em.

it's not a factory option. some dealers will have an aftermarket company redo the seats in leather. honda doesn't do it.

The leather option is not presented in the brochures or the website even as an option for 08's.

there are several dealerships that will offer leather upgrades through a 3rd party. An upgrade i'd consider in an ex or lx model, but I enjoy the finish in the Si too much to swap for leather.

The leather option is only for the '08 EX-L. It will be on option for the 2009 Si and Hybrid.

Correct. It definitely wasn't an option on my '08. Not that I would get leather anyway.
