Since you didn't specify, if you're talking about the 96-00 chassis, no. The closest option is "Hyper Gray", which is stock in the USDM 99-00 SI. It's a very dark gray, and offsets a black interior well. If you're talking about 92-95, I believe it was an option, but I could be wrong - I don't know the 5G interior as well as I know the 6G.

I've been going through the process of converting my interior to black leather for a while now. Your best bet is to pull your stock dash and either dye it, or reupholster it.

Ah, you did, my mistake.

No, they didn't. You'll have to start dying and painting your parts like the rest of us. You could theoretically convert to the Acura EL interior, but I don't know how much work is involved in that. The EL is basically just a fancy non-US Civic with a different front end.

A black dash did exist for the EK Civic in the EDM, on the VTi trim. Trouble is, once you get the black dash then you'll want everything else to match too. Then you are looking at a very very expensive upgrade, not to mention it's problematic to actually get your hands on it all.

The Canadian Acura EL is the only sedan in North America that came in the DARK grey interior. If you have a sedan, then this is an alternative and a much less expensive proposition.

The EL was dark gray, and not black? The rear seats I got from an EL are definitely black.

Also, you dirty Canadians, spelling it grey and not gray

EL interior code is Type K - Classy Grey (which is Dark Grey). (EL also came in Type P - Beige / Tan, FYI.) If you put the seats of an EL next to the black leather seats of an Integra, you'll find the EL is a shade lighter. Not enough to make much of a difference, I'd submit, however.

Odd. How about the 03 Acura CL Sport? Are those seats "dark gray", or are they black? They're a perfect match to the EL rears I have, and both seem to be just as black as the Plasti-dip I'm using on my plastics.
