I just finished putting on some after market synthetic leather seat covers.
The driver's seat and seat back needed replacing, so I replaced all the covers because the color of the new covers aren't same as the old ones.
The job is very tidious and it took me almost 3 weekends (sats and sundays) to finally complete the job.
For the first timer, I am happy with the workmanship.
A must have tool for the job is a hog ring plier, hog rings, needle nose plier and a good quality wire snips.

Here are some pictures, let me know how does it look.

I've always wondered how those would work out. I personally would have gotten the real leather replacements, but looks like you put a lot of effort into this install. will it stretch and become tighter over time?

meazz1

I thought about real leather, but the investment was not wise, as far as the age of the car goes. It's a 97 and I would be happy to get 3+ yrs out of the car it self.

Yes, indeed, it required lots of my weekend time, just ask my wife (lol).

Actually looks pretty nice How much did it cost?

TL BABY

Thanks for posting the updates. It looks Awesome!! How does it feel when you sit on the new skins? Is it supple?

meazz1

It feels very flexible and soft.
I don't know how much it's going to stretch over time. I'm happy with the quality and the feel of it.

Like I said, it's very time consuming task.

I paid $299.00 shipped. It took about 2 weeks to get to me.

The funny thing is that your door panels match almost perfectly! All but the centre armrest, which I don't even have. Looks pretty good!

~Cheers~

Hmm..maybe I'll turn my cloth 1st gen into pleather.

Dang! I dont need to cover all 5 seats. Only my driver seat is messed up.

meazz1

email the dude who's selling it on ebay to see if you can get the driver side only.
I have the link on one of my post above.

96TL_X

Ok! Thank you, my man!

For just driver seat cover it costs $110 including shipping cost.

sorry to bring this back from the dead, but the above link is no good and i am wondering who the seller was. I see ads for the covers for around the 299.00 mark, but I wanna make sure I get the exact same ones you have. I love the way they look and fit

memphisraines26

hmm I wonder who the seller was now since the auction was so old.

but found this on ebay and was intrigued by the heated seat option!

Cool, us 2.5ers can add heated seats too!!!!!!

NoShine

Mandy

Pics are always welcome, thanks.

Are they iggees? Go with iggees. They r definitely superior quality. I had a tan/black set in my G2 legend. Just go to iggee.com and email them the year,make,model and color u want. U can also acquire the matching center console armrest cover. They fit tight and r very comfortable. The ones they sell now r an updated version with the leather (synththetic) wrapped throughout and includes a map pocket in the rear.

Mandy

How much are these? For a whole set?

Looks like most of the Acura covers are around the 195.00 mark. Idk. Im going to email them and see what they say

pro_found973.2TL

^^ any response??

NoShine

Same pricing as above. Their colors seem more limited than the ones on eBay, but still good quality nonetheless
