I am currently working out a group buy with a company for first gen leather seat packages. this company offers two two kits with free Embroidery. you can also get Perforation (little holes in leather) with the kit. I am trying to get the price around $450-$500 for the whole kit including tools to put it on. This leather is just like factory and if you are not familiar with how it is put on, it is just the leather and hooks to put it over the padding on our seats. It is fairly easy to do but even easier to pay someone to do.

If your a cl junkie like me and care about your interior as well, this kit is HARDCORE PHAT! Two tones whatever you want.

Only you guys that are serious about doing the group buy reply. It will be easier for me to get the price down with more people of interest.

So please be serious and be ready for TWO TONES!!!!!!!
email me or reply to this post: turbotk@adelphia.net

I'm definately down for leather.....and if you can hook up that price count me in......but tell me is it just the seats or does it include everything that comes with the premium package such as the area on the inside of our doors.....either way I'm down

I already have leather, but it's getting worn.

You mentioned 2-tone; what are the color choices?

turbotk

I beleive it is the doors as well. that i mentioned to them in the email. But from what i know it is everything.

I also have leather but i am not satisfied with ten. I just ripped most my interior out to start with dying it black and red.

They have most the glorious colors : black , red, orange, tan, grey, etc etc. If you really want to see the colors just email me and i will send you a word doc. with the colors.

I would like to tell you guys i just emailed them so the group buy is not a definite yet. I just don;t want you fellas gettin pissed off at me if they don't meet my requirments. I am trying because i need a deal as well. LOL=)

Anymore questions let me know.

hornyleprechaun

Hey i am pretty sure i could do $450 or so because my leather is looking well, crappy but dont hold me too it. Is this the same place that did the legend seats groupbuy (leatherseats.com i believe) because they were all very happy with their purchases

jamolie

just a question. are these seats covers? or is it the whole seats themselves and the door panels. coz. there's a big difference. i've seen 2 tone seat covers, and it's pretty ricey.

turbotk

IT IS THE WHOLE KIT!!!!YES! even the arm rest!

I have more information for us. The site is www.leatherseats.com and i want you all to check it out.they have all the colors etc. on their. The last post about is it covers or inserts? you will be able to find everything out on the site.

The email he sent shows that he does quite a few group buys so he does have set prices. For 20 people the price is $543.20 so lets try to get as many people as we can. It will help us all out. If we can't get too many people. I am pretty sure i can work him some more with my skills. Anyway we look at it we will have quite a few people interested and i am sure the guy won't want to loose business, right? here is the email he sent me:

Dear Thanos,

We work with quite a few forums for group buys with enthusiests. Anyway we are delighted to see that you are interested in our products and services and we would love to have the chance to impress all of the members with our quality products. The group buy that you will be coordinating will be good for any Acura CL that we have a pattern for. You will need to collect a list of interested members and once you reach the threshold you deem satisfactory then you will contact me with the list. You will then have everyone on that list call in with their final order and payment information. Each member will be charged separately and the product will be shipped according to each members preference. The group buy structure is as follows...

Buyers: Discount: Price:
1...........................0%.............$679.00
3...........................5%.............$645.05
5.........................10%.............$611.10
10.......................15%.............$577.15
20.......................20%.............$543.20

We will be offering the following options at the indicated prices.

Two-tone................................FREE
2 embroideries.....................FREE
Installation Kit.......................$35.00
Color Double Stitching........$20.00
Colored Piping.....................$60.00
Flat Perforated inserts.........$35.00
Flat Non-perf inserts............$35.00
Ground Shipping..................$25.00
Overnight Shipping..............$55.00

These covers are OEM spec and are made to install in place of your factory cloth or leather seat covers. Once installed they will look just like the factory leather seat covers. The CL is a very straight forward installation and the averaged do-it-yourselfer should have no problems with the task. Our installation kit includes the hog-ring pliers, hog-rings, and the super-adhesive upholstery glue that you will need for the door inserts for $35.00.

drewdiddy

count me in either way, if you hook up the deal I'll love you more than my girl, and I dont care who knows it

GoldieAlek

i like the idea a lot ......... i wont mind leather .... what do you think how much would it be to install it and who could do it ? i dont know of any SeatCovering Shops ? let me know ....cause to put them things on really nice is really hard job.......

99CL

damn, i would love to be in if it's for 450-500 maybe. I just bought a set of rims. SO i'm BROKE..but love to have two tone seats.....try to get him to go lower...hehehe

Acurate

Here is a thought. I dunno about you guys, but I have three weeks left of school and then summer=shit loads of money. I will have a commision check in two weeks worth lots and will be interested in about 4 weeks. I bet others are in the same boat I am... wait until then=lower price for everyone. BTW, what color would you guys get???

CL SLeePeR

Is this a do it yourself thing? Meaning, they send you the kit and you apply it to the seats?

turbotk

From what the guy was saying is the accord and the cl are fairly easy to do yourself and i took my back seats out 2 days ago and i can see that there is really nothing to it. Just a clip here, a clip there. Ya know?

Lets see how many peeps we can get and then i'll hit him up on a lower price. Talk to you guys soon.

DrewDiddy be calm my man. lol=) Its OK.

dustbuster4

I'm definitely intested. It's just a matter of timing the $$$$$ with when we need to order.

hornyleprechaun

Still sounds good to me...count me in

CL'S

turbotk

You can do it yourself or get someone to do it. It shouldn't be that hard bro. Ask around and see how much it would be to get it put in by someone.

turbotk

Is everyone comfortable to do this within the next month / month 1/2 ?

I am ready now but i will definetly wait for u's. What am i saying? i have to wait...=)

Let me know if you all can get the che$$a by then.

hornyleprechaun

I can definately have in a month..if i don't have the $$$..i'lll just get it for a graduation present...22 more days of high school

Bump

drewdiddy

Gimme a month but if you need the dough now I'm down as well.
I dont know if this may pose a problem but I live in Toronto, Canada, so as far as the shipping thing....
Otherwise, two tone black and gray, with acura on the headrests is in my immidiate future.
P.S. I'll still love you more than my girl if your hook up runs

'97Acura3.0CL

Leather seats sound good. I want some.

97CL2.2

I don't know where i've been but this is the first i've seen of this... ...
My seat is becoming a little worn and i wouldn't mind a new one- and the others to match... Can't wait to check out that site tomorrow- i'm not doing it on a dialup connection. I was just looking into 18's but... ummmm... i'll let you know tomorrow. GREAT FIND!

-=DjPharmacy=-

Just curious if this was still in effect? I am down for nice new interior mod - hook it up!!!

Bitchin' CL

yeah, i thought we could get at least 10 people to buy some seat covers. after checkin out their website, i totally knew i wanted one of these. check this pic out, my shit's gonna look like this..

1StGenCL

I emailed them and got some samples and the leather looks all grainy. Not nice at all I'll try and post some pics

turbotk

i heard that the TL board all did a group buy and they were very happy with the leather. post some pics and lets see.

the group buy is still in effect if everyone wants to do it. i stopped posting because i wasn't really getting any replies. the prices are in a earlier post and if you guys still wanna do it. lets do it!

20 people is the ideal great buy. every 10 the price goes down. check out early posts

GoldieAlek

where do you find a place that will do install ?
i dont even know where to go look for it ?
performance shop ......i dont think so
dealer i dont think they do that too

turbotk

its easy enough to do yourself.

for a little extra $ they will send you a full kit and instruction list on how to do it yourself.

or the dealership will definetly do it. haven't you seen a civic with factory leather? that isn't how they come from the factory, honda does all that stuff for ya.

or and upolstery shop etc etc

jamolie

turbotk, why don't you start a new thread... maybe try to sticky it to see who wants it for real. seems like there is a substantial amount of people who are interested.

TranceLovinAL

If you go to katzkin.com you can put in your zip code and they'll find you an authorized dealer around your area that will sell you or install leather seats, like these, for you. I think it costs anywhere from $300-$500. I'd rather do it myself, I could use that chunk of change for somethint else.

jamolie

lol, i don't know where you got your info from man, coz. i just called them up, and they quoted me $1095 for one tone, $100 more to add another tone. that's no where near $300-$500 dollars!

Bartman

I bought a kit like this for my Fiat Spider......it's easy to do once you get the hang of the hog ring pliers. There's really nothing to it. Just need a nice sunny day to warm-up the upholstery so it stretches nicely.

Stretch it over your padding, ring it to the seat frame (you'll see where to ring it when you take the original upholstery off).

You're done! If I could do it & make it look good - ANYBODY can.

CL-Z

What's up with this???

Still going on???

If the buy is still going on, i'd like to get in on it. 2-tone black/red would look tight!
