It also made the seats much more comfortable, i think it must have some padding too.

That looks simply beautiful. I noticed you have a kid. The vomit and juice will be that much easier to clean up when it happens, and it will.

Congrats on the HCH and the upgrade. I wish I had that option.

Damage, it looks great! Is this leather a standard Honda dealer add-on or something unique to your dealer? That is, would other Honda dealers likely have the exact same leather?

There is a degree of standardisation about these leather modifications. It is not the work of some local skilled leather worker wielding his needle! I suggest that you ask how it is done? Where is the material that is removed? Are the seats and door panels exchanged? We need to understand the process. These are Honda leathers in my opinion fitted to HCHII' s in other markets. Can someone do some undercover work to find the answer?

I just saw a couple non-hybrid 2006 Civics on my Honda local dealer's lot that have leather added. The leather looked very similar to Damage's pictures but the dealer said they have it done locally at a specialty shop which buys the material from a nearby town (in Indiana). They added $1,695 to the sticker for the leather. Probably a big markup that could be negotiated down.

The main reason for add this is for the spills/mess from kids.
The leather is an aftermarket add-on that the deal had installed by their in-house installer.
I dont think they exchanged the seats/door panels, just "leatherized" them So my guess is that they had a kit of pieces that were made to fit...

damage,
The job looks very clean and very "factory." The best part about it is that you got it from the dealer so there should be no problem with the airbags, which was my first concern when debating whether or not to use a seat cover.
