1998 Integra GSR Seat Install

[Pop's Z]

Jack, Thanks for the kudos. However, I can't take any credit for the rest of the interior. The original owner had some buddies going into the upholstery business and he had them do the whole interior in the tan/butterscotch velour that you see. Some people love it and some people hate it. I think it looks better than the original diamond vinyl. My problem now is that the seats don't match the rest of the interior, so I'll have to deal with that sometime in the future. Meanwhile, I don't see it when I'm driving the car and because the seats are so much better to sit in it is low on the priority ($$$) list.

Cheers, Mike

any pictures of the Integra seats installed yet?

the seats in my 'new' 240 need redone and I'm bouncing back and forth between spending the money to get them recovered in cloth or going with other seats.

What is the best way to make old leather seats look better? Mine are a little faded and the driver's seat bottom has some wear.

I've had good luck in the past with Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner.

:surprised I'm baffled because it's SO tough to get the bottom of the driver's seat out, and hope my husband can get it done for me. All seats are original and in good shape with the exception of the bottom of the driver's seat, so was hoping to take it out all by itself, and try to fix myself.

This thread is very informative, and happy you've found alternatives and options if my hope doesn't work out and we haven't yet sold this by then. I keep reading through threads hoping to find specific clues and others who went about fixing vs. replacing the bottom of the driver's seat. In our case, the seats look really good, it's the stitching from the 36 years of California sun that got munched up.

Thank you.

Why not just recover your seats? I bought a seat kit for about $125 and reovered both seats over a weekend.

Thanks, Miles. Now that it's on the living room rug in bits and pieces, I've got a few days to ponder and see if I can fix anything on my own, and appreciate your help. Since 3 of the 4 seat pieces are in really good shape, only hoped to be able to fix the bottom piece. But may end up doing what you recommend, since we're selling it and not wanting to put too much more $s into it, love it as we do.
