Mike,

I'm interested in replacing the leather in my 95 NSX.

Count me in.

 

[Homer]

Here are some pics for you!!!

 

[icefire]

Homer,

Nice photos. However I did notice some wrinkles in seat bolster and back areas. Is this an installation issue that can be easily corrected by a more experienced installer?

 

[Homer]

Yes, It can be fixed. I have some pics in my folder that these wrinkles do not show up. Just can't post right now. Because they are not the proper format.

Hey ice,
I can assure you that they fixed that issue. My set is perfect. I am waiting until I have my stereo and center console put back in the next couple days and I will take pictures of my interior. Mine is very similar to the red and black in the pictures above. Also very important after all of you receive your kits, MAKE SURE YOU GO TO A GOOD INSTALLER!!! They will know how to handle any bunching of leather if it comes up. Do your homework around town where you live. With all automotive care, I don't care if it's body, engine, interior, suspension, or brake work, you definitely get what you pay for. Please do not pay over $800 for some high quality pieces only to have someone screw it up so you can save $50-$100. Suck it up and pay to have it done right. I had mine installed by a local guy here who does all the repair and replacement interiors for the Acura, Mercedes, and Lexus dealers. He installed my seat leathers, door panels, shift boot, center compartment cover for $300 even and there are no wrinkles anywhere. He himself was extremely impressed with Northwest's kit. Hope that helps everyone.
Good luck all.

CRCsNSXr,

Thanks for the info. In you opinion do you think the kit is something that we can install ourselves? I really enjoy hands-on and was wondering if this is something that I could take on ? Or am I gonna bit on more than I could swallow?

BTW since your kit is the red/black combo, like the photo, is your NSX red? Could you take a picture of your car showing both the car and the seats? I just want to see the effect that the red bolsters and mid seat back have on the overall image of the car.

Thanks,

Icefire,
Unless you have experience installing leather I would definitely leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. I am a DIY guy myself but this just didn't fly with me.
My NSX is GP White. There are a couple differences in my kit from the pictures above. My seats have perferated leather in the center inserts of the bottom cushion and the back cushion and my entire seats are black with red stitching. I didn't want that much red. Also, my center compartment cover is done in black with the NSX logo embroidered on it (same as the headrests) immediately behind the VTEC plate, and my shift boot is black with red stitching. My doors, however, look exactly the same as the pictures above. I am a fan of white cars with red and black interiors, ever since I saw the '00-'01 S2000's with that color combo I have liked it and as soon as this group buy came out I knew that is what I wanted to do with my NSX. Since I have had everything removed from the car's interior for this, I have sanded and painted the trim pieces of the car in brushed aluminum. I have painted the center console, center climate control cover, and the door armrest trim. I really like how it all came out. Hope that helps.

Chris,

I do plan to refinish my center console as well. What kind of paint did you use? There was a thread sometime back that a fellow prime member repaint his center console using some of-the-shelf spary paint. Although the finish looked great but the paint did not withstand heat well. How about your paint?

I used Rustoleum plastic primer first and then used Rusoleum Bright-Coat Metallic Finish. There are two metallic finishes, one that is a chrome look and one that is a brushed look like I have. I bought some 220 grit and 400 grit sand paper and went to work. Cost me about $10 total. I had them done in about an hour. Let the paint dry for a day and installed everything.

 

[bkknsx]

I'm assuming $795 is the price for 2 color tone leather seats? Since I'm on a budget, do you know what the price quote is on just black mono-tone leather seats? If you could provide a price list of the other leather replacement sections (shift boot, door panel, center, etc.) it would be helpful.

For Icefire and others that want to see pictures of my interior that I got from the last group buy, I have some pictures now as I have finally got everything put back in the car. BUT..., I cannot figure out how to post them on this thread because I am relatively new to prime. If anyone could give me details on how to post them here I will gladly show you guys the quality of Northwest Autoleather's product. If there is something simple I am missing as to how to post pictures here, feel free to point that out to me and call me an idiot . Thanks in advance for the help.

[CRCsNSXr]

Hey guys,
I have posted 3 pictures of my interior in my photo gallery. It was a little dark when I took them and I want take a few more, but I wanted to upload these. I still haven't figured out how to post them in a thread yet, but they can be seen in my gallery for everyone to see. What I got in the last group buy was the following: black leather seat covers with perforated bottom center cover and back center cover and red stitching, embroidered RED NSX logo outlined in silver on headrests, red leather door panel inserts and armrests, black leather center compartment cover with embroidered RED NSX logo outlined in silver, and black leather shift boot with red stitching. Kim at Northwest Autoleather was great with working out the details on what I wanted and everything came out perfect. I am more than pleased with my product. I will take some more pictures in the next couple days. Also for those wondering, my NSX is Grand Prix White. Hope that helps.

PS--Any hints on how to post pics in a thread??

Is the price for both seat or per seat? I wrote Nancy and have not got a response yet.

 

[Homer]

Sorry, I didn't reply to you. It's been a very busy week. The prices are for both seats not per seat. Nancy

 

[icefire]

Homer,

Sent you an e-mail with address of sending leather sample. Never heard back from you. Did you get my e-mail?
