Leather Upholstery

[RyanJ]

Wassssup guys.

Hows eveeerybody doing? I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how much it would cost to upgrade my stock cloth seats in my 05 Accord Sedan LX into all leather. Should I just try and find somebody who could just swap it out? Or would I have a better chance of buying a big slab of leather and get somebody to stitch it for me? I just have no idea which is the best way to upgrade to leather seats from cloth. Any suggestions are helpful. Thank you

check out katskinz. It wont be cheap though

Katskinz is cool. youll be looking at around 900 for the front and rear seats.

Otherwise do a little online searching. Not sure if they sell them for your application, but you can purchase seat skins for reasonable, and then just install them yourself. Might need to purchase some hog ring pliers, and hor rings to fully install them....but pretty simple process of stretching the skins tight and attaching them with the hog rings.

There is alot to consider when doing it yourself. Its not that hatd but there are some tricks. Be sure not to cut any airbag sensors in the process in the accord it is in the front passenger leanback and is held in place close to the listings.

if it were me id check all the junkyards and see if they had them for that year model in leather and tell em you want to swap em out and they should cut you a deal. at least around here they do.

It really depends on the car and how the seats are held together from factory. Hog rings are one way they are held together but a lot of new cars are using other methods. Each of them can be difficult in their own way.

Look around your area for some custom upholstery shops. Depending on the seats, it might not be a bad idea to buy the covers and have them install them. They should have everything needed to get them fitting good and snug.
