Default EX Leather Conversion

Hey guys,
I am wondering if anyone has done a leather conversion in their Civic, and if so, how much it ran them. I was thinking of replacing the fabric on the doors and swapping the seats for some vinyl ones. Has anyone successfully done anything like this, and if so, what was the total cost?
Thanks in advance.

ya i did gsr leathers in my ek. i spent 450 for front and back seats and they are mint condition. the fronts should bolt right into your ex, and the backs will be kinna tricky, i think for a coupe you need 4dr gsr bottom and 2 dr back rests for the back seats.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I will look into the integra seats. I have a 2000 EX coupe. Will I need new brackets or will the integra seats fit on my existing rails?

what you will need to do is swap the inside rail of the integra seat, and put the one from your other seat on,
the other rail is fine, but the 96-00 civic and integra inside rail are different, you can however just throw them in and only bolt 3 bolts.

the back seats will fit from a integra in your car, but if you dont want gaps then you will need 4 door rear seats and 2 door tops, by the way if you searched you could have found this info.

I wanted to do this to my car but never got around to it. Emailed the seller, seems pretty legit.

The ebay covers look pretty good, but I think I would want to see somebody who has done it before I spend the $500. I am in MN, but I am mainly looking for black leather, but I could maybe do white for the right price.

why dont you email someone who bought the covers and have them send you a pic? The seller has pretty good feed back so that has to mean something.
