Opinions/Advice Needed for Seats

callmeryang · Aug 22, 2009

Car - 1998 Honda Accord
Okay, initially..I wanted to do a cheap ebay 40$ leather seat cover swap because my interior is fabric material. However, now that I think twice about it..I just want a seat for me

So can you guys give me some suggestions/advice on what type of seat I should get? What are some good ones..etc

Thanks for the input

IMO, aftermarket seats can be a pain from brackets to just usuability. If you cheap out, they are much more uncomfortable than something quality, and the seat comfort depends on what seat you buy. Plus, I personally think most look worse in a normal car, with the exception of a few, which tend to end up or mimic seats that end up in factory cars (ITR seats for example).

Even getting your seats recovered, DIY is pretty pricey unless you actually stitch them together yourself with your own material. I have seen a few seat covers that look OK and wern't that badly priced but most look horrible. Even then the covers were pricey.

I would stick with fabric unless you want to do it right which will be about $600, DIY, recovering. I am sure there is probably a company that makes quality stuff for a bit less but not substatially less.
