As some of you know, I have plans for my Civic, codenamed PTC. I strive to make it the most awesome little Civic in town. Not the fastest, not the loudest, but the one that subtly is more awesome.

Part of this plan includes making a leather interior. I already have Acura EL leather seats installed, and look pretty well in place.

Swap the existing rubbery wheel for a leather wheel (It is an EX with an Si name after all), and have a black+red theme around the car. Add an infotainment system that connects to the head unit, a Nexus 7 fits best in the double DIN from what I researched, and can connect wirelessly to a Wifi or bluetooth scantool and the head unit, (I may be able to salvage the existing bluetooth module in either car if they’re compatible), head unit will be moved down. Parts car has the head unit mod done already, and I’ll be using that piece.

Lack of pictures is due to horrible winter lighting and my potatocam not co-operating. So this Photoshop mockup made from a photo online should do. The interior on its own is almost spot on.

I like where this is going, are you planning on sort of a resto-mod?

I’d say so, and to put into perspective, it’s pretty cheap compared to builds on other cars.

if you get a 96-98 lower console, it has a single din behind the cup holders instead of a slightly larger than single din slot that the 99/00 got. makes mounting the unit very simple.

I find that a bit low, but I could check it out how it goes for feel.

because I control everything through my ipad or ipod find I really dont have to touch it much. It is certainly a pain when drinks are in

Just pulled out what the parts car had. It at the same height as the outlet. I find that perfect.

yeah, I believe the one you have is an optional console not available in the usa, except on the the EL

I have a good idea for your leather seats:

Since you’re going black/red, find some decent Prelude seats.

Then do a black leather with red top stitch and “dimensions” inserts:

The shop where I work could get you all done for about $1000 with the Civic rear and Prelude front seats...
