Solidus 1999 Accord Coupe EX

So I am finally getting around to making my ride thread. I do all car work myself and I have put in a lot of work, not as much as id like to since funds are really limited right now but I hope you guys like it.

When I originally purchased the car it was 100% stock. The car came with cloth and is a 4 cylinder. It needed some mechanical work as well as interior work due to previous owner neglect. Since I have gotten the car I have kept the car mint.

Cool programm man, can"t wait to see the pics. For you leather seat conversion, you've replace the fabric oem cover by leather cover? If so,I'm interested in how you did, the leather of my driver seat is torn down. .

Pics are up. Cant take photos with the body kit until spring.

Yes for my seats I had OEM cloth and replaced the entire interior with leather by striping the cloth from the OEM seats and installing leather covers myself. For the rear I did OEM leather but for the front I had to go with alternative since all driver seats for 6th gens are prone to tearing on the side. Thats why for the front I went with LeatherSeats.com, its a thicker leather and has an OEM look.

Ok thanks, that's a long work to do? Not that I'm scared but to know if it's Worth it. Are you happy with the quality of the leatherseat cloths? Thanks for you answer.

I'm really interested cos my driver seat makes me cry when I see it ^^

Haha trust me I know how you feel every time I saw my cloth interior and the driver seat torn up from daily use of the previous owner I wanted to scream haha.

You just have to take your time with it. It is well worth it to do an interior leather cover swap. The LeatherSeats.com leather covers are great. They are definitely thicker and softer than OEM leather. I also find them to be more durable as well. Its also easy to due but you must be mindful of how everything is and must go back and be installed. You must not force the leather either.

If you do decide to do the project, message me of any questions you might have.

Looks like your car is coming along well, looking forward to seeing it with the lip kit.

Ok thanks you very much, but I've seen the prices on the website, now I'm driving to the Hospital to heal from my heart attack We have to pay toll taxes on merchandises coming from the USA that cost more than 80$. On eBay motors I've seen some seller that sells only the top of the seat for 75$ and is said to be oem. Maybe thinner but way cheaper.

Just seen the pics, cool car, red is the best

nice
