Hi guys. I'm gonna be shopping for a new Accord early next year and I wanted to ask you guys if any of you have ever bought a brand new Accord and asked for it customized from the factory. I want a white sedan, with an all blue and white leather interior. I did want an all black interior, but that's only offered on the coupe (and I think the dealer told me only the V6 coupe.) I just wanted to know how much extra I should expect it to be if I get it customized like this. I havent asked the dealer yet but I'll double check with them when I get a chance.
Thanks for any help.

 

i didnt know you could do that.

 

my friend bought a 2000 civic si with a custom honda interior. they did it at the factory. he got it used tho so i dont know how much it costed

 

The dealer I worked for did custom work.

Example: If you wanted a Civic with leather they would send the car out to a local upholstery shop and get the whole interior done in leather, you cant tell its not OE Honda.

Ive never heard of ordering a car from the factory like that though. We just transform the car through our own contractors to suite customer needs.

 

yah...one thing i remember about the aftermarket leather from the dealer is that it might smell MUCH more "leathery". It won't be subtle like the factory stuff. Be prepared for it to stink for awhile. And maybe not last as long.....? (seemed like thinner leather but i suppose it depends where they source from).

 

thats why i took mine to the guy the dealer takes his too.. they did mine alot cheaper.. oh and my friends do the ford and chevy's alarms and keyless entrys. they pick the cars up and add the feature to them.. so i know they use outside ppl

 

Wow... you must have alot of cash to throw around if you can get a custom interior from the factory.
Cost= I'm guessing a Arm,Leg, and maybe Left ********.(Remember dealer charges leather appointed options through the roof)
Dunno about the colors your choosing though sound kinda ricey

 

I went to the dealer yesterday. Asked if they do custom leather, they said that you can have it customized, 2 tone leather. how ever i wanted it. cost ? $1500, and that's not in addition to regular leather, which costs about $1000 from them anyway. As for the whole interior, i dont think they do that but I decided to go with a blue one with a black interior. Cant wait til next year !

 

hehe. yea i guess it's kinda ricey, i just want it to stand out tho. i'm gettin away from the ricey scene and just gettin a fully equipped accord now. dont give a **** about all that custom stuff since all its done is lower my resale value. but i got someone to buy my car now for a good price so i'm happy (:
