Aside from the spots, that doesn't look too bad. Can you let me know how it was repaired as I'd like to do the same for mine since it looks a little worn in the butt area.

 

aha black leather also wear like my Taupe seat so after all its easier to see on light tan interior. I wish I can get my wife an MDX and if she can make $30k a year

 

Somebody hit the jackpot and didn't tell us.

 

Gat...did you intend to put after shots of the leather? Looks like a double shot of the same set.

 

Yes, on Friday. For $110, he's repairing both front seats.

 

He's going to use some type of synthetic leather to fill in the cracks and make it look brand new.

 

Depends on how the Civic treats us. And yes, I did, when I married my wife.

 

Haven't had it repaired yet.

 

Apparently the bodykit rear piece was damaged in shipping to the Acura dealer. I told the other Acura dealer to ship the remaining three pieces. I'll put them on in the meantime.

 

It will still look plenty sex with the front and sides on, however.

 

 

well let us know when you do! I'd love to see the outcome here!

 

After repair:

 

Looks good Gatr.

 

Thank you kind sir!

Hey, what was the name of the cleaning agent you used to clean the tailpipes?

 

Depends on how bad the buildup is.. if it's black.. take a scrubbing pad or fine steel wool to it with soap and water and never dull. Then use a good polish like barkeeper's friend or mothers / meguiars.. just a decent one and restore it back to new.

 

I'll try that.

 

Wow, the seats look great.

How much did it end up setting you back?

 

$110 for both front seats.

 

Wowzers. I wanna get me some of that.

My only worry would be how it responds to leather cleaners. Did your guy say anything about that?

 

Nothing to worry about.

 

damn, those seats look great

 

Damn seats look awesome

 

Seats look great gatr! I may need to take a test drive to see further inspect them.

 

Autotrader I like, but the black market on acurazine-- is a bad move only because people on this site are cheap- and keep looking for great deals.

You should have gotten $19,000-22,000 for your TLS-
Wait and the rite buyer will want it .

The TL your looking at in Miami. Looks ok- the interior section where the seat belts clip are torn up scuffed. The drivers seat looks really worn out thd leather- and I'm not a fan of the interior color-

I think you should find another TL.
Very high in price

Looking great!

The title of this thread needs to be changed to "Bought a CBP TLS, now what suckas".

 

He said it would respond well. I had the same thing done on my Accord, and it worked out well. He said I would use whatever conditioner I wanted, but that I should not use leather cleaners.

 

Thank you kind sir.

 

I'm now painting my rear calipers gloss black and cleaning the inside of my rear wheels. They were very dirty, and not the good kind of dirty either.

 

Congrats on teh new ride gatr...looks great!

 

Thank you! I'll update this thread with pics tomorrow.

 

So how do you clean your seats?

 

I just use leather conditioner.

 

Pics of my rear calipers:

 

Is that rust normal? i mean is it bad? my car has it too..and i was wondering if i should do something about it?

 

 

The rust is normal.

The seats look great! Mine look terrible

 

The rust is normal. Maybe when I get an extra second I will Dremel and paint that too.

 

Wow, those seats came out amazing.
I wonder what they do to fix them!?!! That is great...I actually did a leather reconditioning from Griot's garage...it worked out awesome, but the wrinkles aren't GONE!

Rear calipers look great! Bangup job!

You should think about taking off the discs and sanding the hub and painting it...or get the brakemotive package of zinc plated ones!

 

I will probably do that this weekend. I went through all of my sanding drums though, so I have to get more.

They use a synthetic leather compound to fill in the cracks, sand them, and then paint them to match the leather.
