So I went to the junkyards yesterday and came across a 03 black on black CL-S with 64k on it, and looked at the interior and decided I wanted the Black leather seats for my car. I got the front and rear seats, steering wheel to for a whopping $70. a steal for me, because the stuff is worth over $700+.

well I started on it today and got the rear seats in, that required alot of modifying and cutting the stock accord panels to make them work, I started on the rears at 5am, and finish at 1pm with them and the steering wheel. I love the end result, way more comfy than the accord seat.

Now comes the fun part is putting the front seats in and wiring the power on them and the heated parts of the seat and the switches. It's gonna be a blast but will be worth it in the end

Here's the pics of the front seats that I got from the CL-S.

Now for the rears which forgot to take a pic of lol, but there in the car already, and so everyone knows the CL-S rears don't fold down like the accord rear seats.

Here's before

After cutting panels and modifying the CL back seat, finally got it in, than the bottoms, had to do some bracket changing on the floor board and bolting the console down. and I had to use the accord seat belts, because I didn't take the one's out of the Cl but I made them work. I'm just sticking with doing the interior black and grey interior. but here's the pics in the car

That would be sweet, can always try and find one and we can try it. shit just the rear seat only cost me $30 bucks, so it's not like I was wasting a bunch of money if I screwed it all up or if they wouldn't work.

It's awesome when you can find nice leather in the junk yard cuz they want pennies for it compared to how much leather costs.

Fuck yeah. Kinda sucks that they don't fold down though. Looks great.

Hell yeah. I'm glad you picked them up. I knew they'd fit, but i knew they'd have to be modded.

Great purchase. Glad you did a build thread like i mentioned sir! Now get those front seats in finally.

I will, once I get sometime, I just picked up another full black leather interior to today out of an 01 accord coupe, so now I might swap all the panels to the black ones. and I only paid $90 for everything including the 01-02 gauge cluster to. lol Now I'm trying to find and 05 RL in the junkyard so I can do the RL brake upgrade on the accord.

'05 RL!?

Good f***ing luck on that one sir. It's hard enough just to find a 1st Gen RL... let alone a 2nd gen.

I see RL's in the junkyard all the time, same body style as yours. lol Just not the year I'm looking for. lol Shit if I remember right there's 2 at Riverside, and at least 1 at speedway the other day.
