Default Convert to leather seats? (5th gen.)

Hey everyone,

Just bought a '98 White Diamond Pearl SH and I am in LOVE. She's my new girlfriend! haha....

My only problem with the car is that the interior is not as nice as it could be. I'd like to swap the cloth seats for leather... but I do't know where to start. Does anybody have any idea of how much leather seats cost? Or where I should look to find them - are seats specific to Preludes, or would seats for other cars work as well? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

(By the way, I'm located in San Jose, CA, if that matters.)

Thanks,
Matt

I thought about doing that too, but its expesnive and I'd rather have a fast car first. Go to http://www.autoleathers.com its going to cost around 750 installing it yourself, and another 500 to get it professionally done. They are pretty sick though if you have the money.

OR, you can get some S2K seats, and do that. might need some modification to the rails/sliders and possibly some drilling

The S2K seats are nice but going rate for a pair is ~$500, plus modifications to the rail/slider will be necessary which means more $$. In addition, the rear seats need to be upholstered in leather as well (more $$).

The best bet is to find someone willing to swap leather for cloth seats + $$ or goto the aftermkt and get custom leather seat covers.

Thanks damonk/others,

Thanks for the thoughts. Do you know anybody who has had their interior done by Auto Leathers? It looks good?
