#22 of 30 Re: custom leather seat covers for 2007 CRV LX [subhash] by dougd98028 Jul 30, 2007 (12:23 pm)
Replying to: subhash (Jul 27, 2007 4:39 pm) We talked to one dealer about doing that. We were considering an EX instead of an EX-L just due to availability problems (we were eventually able to get an EX-L). There is a company that will replace all the upholstery with leather. We didn't see this done on a CR-V, but we did see it on a Civic. The quality was better than the factory installed leather. It felt like a better quality leather, and unlike the factory leather, it was all leather - there was no vinyl anywhere on the seats.   I don't know what company they were using, but it wasn't any less expensive than upgrading to the leather upholstery from Honda. The leather upholstery plus heated front seats installed came to about $2K, so we didn't see much of an advantage to it.   Doug Replies to this message: subhash (Jul 30, 2007 1:53 pm) dougd98028 (Jul 30, 2007 2:49 pm) coolchid (Jul 31, 2007 6:45 am) stevedebi (Jul 30, 2007 5:34 pm)

Replying to: dougd98028 (Jul 30, 2007 12:23 pm) Thanks for the useful info Doug. In the process, do you know if the entire upholstery is replaced or if it is just using a leather cover over the existing upholstery.   Thanks, ---Subhash Replies to this message: dougd98028 (Jul 30, 2007 2:49 pm) coolchid (Jul 31, 2007 6:45 am)

Replying to: subhash (Jul 30, 2007 1:53 pm) I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure that they replace the entire upholstery. It didn't look like they could have done it by using a cover over existing upholstery. Supposedly, they even replace the fabric that is on the door arm rests on the CR-V. On the Civic that we saw, it really was a very nicely done job.   But definitely not cheap. I think he said that if you didn't want the heated seats it would have been about $1200.   I did find a company on the web that looked like it was probably the one that actually did the work. I think they were based in Vancouver BC, but they had a plant in Blaine, WA. But it looked they might work primarily through dealers. If I can find the URL again, I'll post it.   Doug Replies to this message: coolchid (Jul 31, 2007 6:45 am)

Replying to: dougd98028 (Jul 30, 2007 12:23 pm) The dealer offered to do our 2003 CR-V EX with leather for $2000. I saw one - it was a quality job, with leather inserts in the doors.

Replying to: subhash (Jul 27, 2007 4:39 pm) One problem with messing with CR-V's upholstery is that side air bags are mounted in the seatback frame. The cover has to accomodate them, or it will get nasty in a accident. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Jul 31, 2007 10:37 am) megahit (Jun 11, 2009 2:58 pm) blueiedgod (Jun 12, 2009 11:38 am)
