Sounds like you were getting BS'd. All the Si's I have seen have the same cloth interior.

i think it was an option from the dealer. i'm pretty sure i remember NOFX said the same thing a while back to someone with the same question. she said something about the dealer sending the seats to be re-upholstered at a shop, or something along those lines.

i'm pretty sure you can get the stock EM1 seats re-wrapped in some good-quality leather at a good shop, and they can probably stitch the Si logo in there too.

That is not an SI, and that is not even a 99-00 civic as 99-00 civics have the antenna integrated into the rear window and not above the driver side door as pictured. Also, the seats pictured are not oem 96-00 civics as they don't have a hole in the headrest, they appear to be integra seats to me that the owner had reupholstered and also added an SI logo, but then again they could be reupholstered civic seats with integra headrests. The steering wheel looks like one out of an rsx or ep3.

actually it is a 96-00 civic, as you can clearly see by the passanger side door panel, looks like they have a CTR non-srs steering wheel installed as well. but thats clearly aftermarket leather. and i would go as far to say it is an si model because it has the center armrest.

It is an EK. Look at the Door handle, And the clip on the weather seal on the door. EG's did not come with them, EK's did.

Leather Si seats were optional from the dealer. Yes, they are rare.

Wrong on both counts. My 00 civic has the antenna in that exact location, and all 99-00 Si cars had the halo headrests.

Those seats are rare, but I've seen them in person, on about 3-4 Si's locally in the past 5 years. They're exactly like the cloth 99-00 Si seats, only in leather.

All your info is spot on.

That's why there are different color combinations and different logos on the seats too.

Actually, the only 6G Civics to have the antenna integrated into the rear glass are the '99-'00 Civic sedans (not the GX though). All other ones had it where that car has it. That car also has the long door, meaning it's a coupe or hatch.

The seats pictured ARE Civic seats. The '99-'00 Civic Si had holes in their headrests. The reupholstered leather seats sometimes use the other style headrests without the holes.

The steering wheel appears to be a CTR or possibly an SiR wheel.

The armrest appears to be a stock Si/EX (some other trims too) armrest, probably with the Integra top on it.

I deem that car undeniably a '96-'00 Civic coupe or hatch.

Seeing as I have a 99 and all my antenna is there and my seats are the same except cloth.
