FIX It Up OR Sell "As is"

Wow the car turned out quite beautiful! I would re-cover the seats with the original black/black color. You've worked so hard to make it original, there's no sense in going for a kustom color look on the seats at this point.

With 30-year old leather, all of the attempts to restore the original covers end up disappointing. They look good in pictures, but when you get close up in person, they still have that "tired" patina. The new leather really pops.

patina haters gonna hate......

Original all the way. as mentioned, just get some dye and treat. these are old cars people should accept some degree of wear. If the new owner wants perfect, they can either source some better OE seats, buy the original Honda part or go aftermarket. personally, having had both OE and aftermarket, I would alway choose OE. No matter how fussy you are with the fitment of new, original always looks correct.
