leather was an option for people who bought brand new SI's. u never see any tho because it was very expensive. i know of a couple sets for sale

im curious to see it. estates? can someone tell me what that is. thanks. im guessing its a package available at signing? or Fail?
I've never seen a leather interior, nor do I see a listing for it in the catalog, but some did come with leather bolsters along the sides, with a cloth printed insert.

No.
The USDM Civics (ALL of them, not just the Si coupe) had DEALER optional leather interiors. They were not stock and there is no part number for the leather. This is because all you would do is say to Honda, "I want leather interior," and they would call a local upholstery shop and have them do new covers for the seats.
This is one reason why the seats come in so many different colors, some say "Si" on them, some have an "H" and some have no emblem. They'll also often have different stitch patterns. For example, there might be three or four panels along the middle of the back.
The OP is talking about a European model that was not available in the US though. An "estate" is what most in the US would call a "station wagon".
A Civic estate (which is a type of body style) is called a Civic Aerodeck. We didn't get them in the US. Here is a photo of one.

Thats like my two Aerodeck's, the pic of the interior is exactly the same as my 1.8 Vtec, only mine's rhd, my other one (I picked up tonight), is a 99 1.6 auto with full leather.
Thats cause youv'e got no taste
Thanks for the info NOFX. and indeed she is llol =] i would of loved to be able to do it to my 00 ex. if i were to buy the interior peices would they just bolt on as if they belonged there?

Oh that sucks, I thought leather was OEM. So does this mean I can get my stock seats leather'd?
I like Aerodecks (Estates). To a lot of Americans these cars are probably just "station wagons", which are considered uncool here. So don't be surprised if a lot of people here don't like it.This is my Aerodeck
Have you joined Honda-Tech.com yet? There is a larger European base there than here, but mostly because there are more members on that site.
Btw, I like the luggage box. Do you have better photos of your car? Maybe some larger ones.
