Default Roadster Seats Vs. Coupe Seats.

I noticed the seats are very different. Is it possible to put the cloth convertible seats in a coupe? Might be a nice conversion.

I don't know about you guys, but the coupe's seats are among the best sport seats that I've tried. They're basic and very effective. The vert's seats seem more designed for looks than all out function.

The convert seats are actually more for function... I saw the car on the today show and the rep said that the cloth center was to help absorb sweat... We all know how quickly you can sweat in a convert with leather....... Good design I think.. He also said that it was starting around 31k which seems low... I guess we'll see..

I think they are sort of ugly in the orange leather.

If they were available in all black, or black and gray I might get them on my roadster. Since it appears that they are only available in this orange/black combo I guess I will get the regular leather seats.

Coupe seats def look more effective, but if the price is right, I'm willing to get the vert seats. I don't plan to be making any sharp *** turns... yet.

The vert seats should add about 20hp, which will help you in your quest for more "Kills" of "mexicanized" Accords.
