Would it be possible to replace a leather car interior with a cloth interior?
I'm getting a new(used) car, and I'm looking into a v6 Honda Accord, but the only ones I can seem to find in my price range have leather interiors. I don't like leather interiors, my current car had one, and I live in Arizona, it gets hot, they crack, etc. And I've tried looking it up on google, but all I could find was questions asking about changing cloth to leather. What would be a rough estimate on the average cost? I could always go buy some car seat covers though.
Of course anything's "possible." Practical or desirable? In this case, no. If you wanted to hunt around possibly for weeks at junkyards and hope to find a car exactly like yours with cloth seats -- in a matching color and in acceptable condition -- it might only cost a few hundred for the parts and installation. If you were to order aftermarket seats (Recaro, etc.) or the replacements from Honda, you're looking at thousands. So "rough estimate" - $300 to $2,500.
I've replaced the entire interior in a Mercedes, and it wasn't fun. It wasn't difficult, but very time-consuming because of the numerous trim pieces. If you do just the seats in your Honda it shouldn't take long. You're going to have a tough time reselling the car when the potential buyer asks where the leather seats are, though.
The coves idea is good, but just build the Honda online
Go with the seat covers. By the way, that's probably vinyl. Not leather.
- Punctured tire replacement - can I replace only 1 tire - is it safe to replace the PUNCTURED tire only? My 2005 Honda Pilot rear left tire was punctured near the threshhold (ie - sidewall), but still usable. Thus the tire dealer patched it only. Should I replace that punctured tire only? Or should I replace the 2 tires on the same axle? Or even buy a whole set of 4 tires? I'm concerned about safety, and thus your best advice is very appreciated.
- Is it weird to wear cloth brands like versace, gucci etc and drive a car around 70k-150k range? I know wearing those brand and driving like a honda, toyota etc would look weird, but is cars like mercedes, bmw ok? Or does it have to be something higher like maserati, ferrari, lambo, aston etc?

- Would it be possible to swap a f20c1 engine into my 1998 honda accord? I have 1998 Honda Accord 5 speed manual and I was wondering if it's possible to swap out my f23a1 for a f20c1 (s2k motor) .
