Hey guys! Looking for pics/suggestions on spiffing up my interior. Just trying to keep it a clean daily using mostly stock parts. No dye's if possible as I've died plastic/carpet in some other car projects that didn't hold up all that well.



Heres what I'm starting out with. A good condition grey interior. Carpet is a little rough and rear package tray is faded. I've swapped in some newer prelude seats since the stockers were killing me, but looking to make it a little nicer to look at everyday!
Here are my choices I can't really decide between:
-Keep the grey interior, replace the carpet and recover the door panels, I also have another set of these same prelude seats in a matching grey color I could throw in
-Grey/black two tone. Replace carpet,dash,center console,rear seats,package tray with black pieces. Also recover the door panel inserts in a matching fabric to the seat inserts
-Tan and black. Mirror the "Black center- lighter surrounding color" described above except track down the rare coupe tan interior pieces.

Anyone have any pictures of anything close to the possibilities I have in mind? Mainly looking for black/tan combos. I've searched, and haven't found much on tan interior coupes! thanks- Adam

 

Oh, if you're trying to go tan/black, go and find a tan set of Integra seats, preferably the newer ones so you have the seat height adjustment as well as lumbar support!
The tan seats are EASY to find cuz everyone wants the black and gray...though I DO wonder if the Prelude seats are more supportive...the Teg seats look cooler! *shot*

Along with those seats, try finding some OEM black carpet floor mats to replace your rough ones. Those outta look pretty good!
Good luck!

 

Honestly not a huge fan of the integra seats. Especially the leather ones...feels like your sitting on bricks IMO. I really love these seats and encourage anyone who hasn't sat in them- just open someones car on the street and do so!...well..maybe dont do that exactly, but whatever. They're comfy/soft enough, yet very supportive in turns. Not as comfy for bigger people as they have a small flat section IMO (im 6', 160lbs so I fit well)


dont know if you guys have seen this car or not (stole images from civic-eg.com) but its gorgeous, and exactly what I'm looking for. Looks classy. However I can only imagine the small fortune spent on custom upholstery and tan leather on every panel! Very well done though

 

The owner of that car has a build thread here on Honda-Tech, as well. I'm a huge fan of tan interiors that are done properly, and that is a perfect example of how nice tan interiors can look.

 

never seen anyone going tan before. props to you

 

Strolled around the j-yard today and didn't find much. The EG coupe with a complete black interior that was there a week ago has since been crushed. So no dash for me. I've been thinking alot about the interior color change. I really dont mind the darker grey color so much and it goes nicely with my flat tan exterior. not to mention finding EX door panels is near impossible in many other colors. I might just replace the items in my interior that are faded out causing it to look shabby...Also- you see alot of nice black interiors, how many nice grey interiors do you see? I'm going to try and remove my carpet and either dye it a darker grey or just replace it with a darker grey carpet. I'll probly pick up some medium/dark grey vinyl to redo the door panel inserts, and rear package tray. I'm eyeing up some faux ostrich material maybe. Have my upholstery buddy put it on.



Then possibly swap in the other grey lude seats I have
