To get black leather with black and red “dimensions” leather inserts. - but with Opal stitching to match the factory stitch on door panels, console cover, and dash.

(as seen here on a 2015 Civic)

Pictures to follow.

New fact of note: Honda has added San Marino Red and Orchid White pearl to the colors available on a 6-speed manual 4-door Accord Sport.

It’s like you guys do all the work Honda should have done to begin with - leather option and sunroofs.

Underbite+buckteeth. Why do Honda start out with a good-looking vehicle and then slowly ruin it by adding more and more wierd styling details? Also see: CR-V.

Also:

Do you guys only do upholstery changes, or can you actually modify the structure of the seats? For example, to add better bolstering?

No, I'm not coming down to see you, I just want to know if it's something that can be done.

Red perforations make it look purple.

Not in our shop, but it can be done. We have kits for Corvettes and Mustangs that have better bolsters sewn in that replace the factory foam. Otherwise you need to either have someone who is very good at cutting foam or get new foam molded for the seat. Otherwise it looks pretty gross.

That’s an effect of the light in that photo. Like that damned blue/gold/white/black dress from earlier this year.

It may be a cornsweet illusion

I know. If they had put a nose similar to the 13-15 Coupe, it’d be better. It sort of looks like they’re trying to resurrect the 12 Civic look.

I was thinking along the lines of having my stock leather (vinyl?) taken off, adding better bolsters, and putting a nicer leather back on. Or, I could just go get some H3 seats.

Thanks for the info.

I love when you post stuff about the cars that come to your shop for leather.

Huh, that actually looks pretty sharp.

H3 seats look good in the factory leather. The tan with black piping is hot.

As has been mentioned before by Tom, and basically everyone else who has driven the current generation accord, the Sport is the sweet spot in the lineup. If I were in the market for a new accord, I would most definitely get a red sport with a 6 speed and have the shop put leather and a sunroof in it.

Even though this ones an accord and they do 10-15 of them a week, the fact that it's red and getting the dimensions leather is pretty cool.

Yeah it is I really like it I love those wheels on that accord.

For 16 I think the sport is the only trim level that doesn't have godawful ugly wheels. They're 19s too

Also, something that may be of interest to you:

We did that one early this year.

and this one this summer:

and an SRT swap from Suede to leather:

That shoulder area tightens up really nicely as it ages.
