Switch car seats to leather
« on: September 25, 2023, 10:55:56 PM »
Does anyone have experience with this? Supposedly I can switch my Honda Odessy seats with leather for 2k. The car is 3 years old and the lease is up, the primary reason I want to get rid of it is because the fabric seats are disgusting. If I can switch to leather I would just buy out the lease.
Curious to hear if anyone else has ever done this? Any reason no to?

I have no information, but it sounds like a great idea.

I'm just curious why anyone would buy a minivan with fabric seats in the first place?

Lower model - cheaper overall.
Didn't realize how bad cloth seats would be with kids after 3 years.
That was the floor model; it was immediately available.

I know someone that did it in a sedan. I remember it looking good.


Also leather quality matters.

+1

Is this manufacturer-grade leather seats like Honda would install, or is this some bonded-leather junk?

(it is not that easy, but it is doable if you are handy, however it is nothing like upholstering regular chairs)
