Getting ready to buy... Thinking of asking the dealer to switch out the seats with the CL-P version. Anyone know if these seats are a bit LESS bolstered and an bit softer?

 

Yeah I'm sure they'll do that. Are you intending to pay to have the seats swapped out?

Either way, I seriously doubt they would do it.

 

They'll do anything for money.

 

Well not sure if they will or not... I'm asking if anyone who owns a CL-P can tell me about how those seats compare to the CL-S.

 

They are a little softer then the CL-S seats... however, the CL-S seats have better lumbar supports for the "sport" driving. This is only what I've read....

BTW... no way in hell they'll swap out the seats for free. I doubt they'd even do it for money... if they do... it will not be cheap... especially through a dealer.

 

Maybe you should make an offer to the CLP owners on this board to see if they are interested in a trade??

 

my clp seats are kinda rinkled were my ass and back are. i think the cl-s seats are perforated, right. cl-ps are all leather(?) but get rinkled really fast. compared to the passenger side, the driver side is used a lot more and is significantly more rinkled. i have an 01 and have 18k miles on the car. as far as softness, i can't tell ya! i only test drove a cl-s ones and that was almost 2 years ago.

 

the seats felt exactly the same to me except the cl-s have perforated seats.

 

You should offer to CL-P and CL-S:

I think it would look sooo sweet to have Parchment seats on a black interior like some of the bimmers do... but that is IMO.

 

I drove the CLS for about 4K miles and took both the CL and CLS to Cali. The CL seats are softer. I'm not a fan of the perforated seats. I wish they had made the Aegean Blue with Parchment Interior, IMO Black Interior is way to hot for Arizona. In April I had black perforated on the Red CLS. and it was only 95-100 then and it was fucking hot.
The CL has lumbar support too.

 

Im sure the dealer will install the seats, but Im willing to bet they will charge you full replacment price. Problably over $1000 for the set.

 

Try to work a trade with a Parchment CL-P owner and you may even get a few dollars in the trade.

 

Thanks for the feedback. The CL-S seats are the "preferred" seating so I'm hoping they will do this to get a sale. Seems to me that a number of Acura dealers around here are fairly hungry to sell a CL-S.

 

It is highly unlikely a dealer would even consider it unless they had a totalled car sitting around.The seats cannot be purchased complete.They must be ordered in their individual pieces.The cost to do this is insane.I recently had to order two new seats in leather for an Integra that had been broken into.If i remember correctly the total cost was pushing 6000 dollars.It is insane but cars are worth far more in pieces than as a whole.I would advise you to look in wrecking yards for a totalled CL to see if you can get some seats.Jens
