They sell it on CarID, etc. Just wondering what they looked like.

So, this site..?

They look like universal seat covers. The ads don't seem to mention them being cut to fit those seats (they say "custom" though), so they might not even fit well.

Calling the business or the manufacturer (Coverking) might be your best bet on fitment.

I've only seen white and they're only in Japan in my experience. Never seen anyone sell them here in the states and certainly not a business (not much of a market for them). It seems there are different ones for different models as well. I've seen 5G Civic ones, 6G Civic ones and Odyssey ones, for starters.

The ones posted above have the 5G Civic logo.

Seat covers are always horrible, save the money and put it towards new ones. Lots of wrecked Civics have mint seats.

Eran has OE del Sol seat covers and they're not bad. Technically at least some del Sols with dealer leather actually are wearing new covers with the normal upholstery underneath and those leather covers are sought after as well.

I think they're both good looking.

Aftermarket seat covers, in my experience, are not attractive. They can help protect your stock seats though!

I know I wouldn't want to buy replacement seats just to make sure I have some nice ones that aren't worn even if mine are already good looking.

Here's an ebay seller who makes good looking replacement. He has some black with the red stitching...prices are crazy but neat to see...for that much you can get them-redone at a lcoal place for the same if not less.

I'm with NOFX on the aftermarket though. Aftermarket usually just looks like synthetic leather trash-bags wrapped around a seat with elastic. Some of the "custom" or cut to fit aftermarket covers I've seen looked pretty decent after smoothing them out using some careful work with a heat gun.

I'd definitely say it might be worth checking local upholstery shops for prices.

If you're just looking for something to cover your stock seats to protect them, you need to understand that about 99% of the covers available are not going to fit very well or will not look very attractive. They will protect the seats by covering them up though.

I peeled the fabric off a wrecked Civic's seats that were in nice condition. When the time comes to replace mine (2,4,6 years down the road...) then I have a replacement. My car will probably rust apart before then, though. Or get stolen. Until then, I get to sit on the OEM fabric (which I like) and plus I don't have to give much of a crap about wear.

EDIT: To answer OP's question, yes.

I don't know if the OP wants photos of the ones from CarID on Civics though. Plus I doubt he wants hard to find, expensive covers.

Yeah you're right ... his later post mentions CarID, but the first one asks for pics of seat covers (any kind I guess), so I dug out the OEM ones. Fugly, 90s patterns for the most part.

I like the old patterns since they're very period. Now, if you were to put those in a new Civic it might be a little weird.

^ And I'll bet that's exactly who Honda had in mind.

I feel the same way about those patterns as I do about neon-coloured clothes, Sun Ice jackets, and anything by Vuarnet: A lump of nostalgia that, while enjoyable, soon passes as my better judgment takes over.

we sold Vuarnet shades at my old job. Ugly. I wish I had a member's only jacket, though.





not really.

LOL I see the seat covers more like period wheels and other modifications.

I like that stuff too -- it's funny though, I'm not sure why I draw the line at fabric. I like lots of other original stuff. I also don't have time for ancient stereo equipment. Though possibly I would want one of those push-button radios if I had an early-80s ride. Not an 8-track though.
