USDM 2023 Civic Type R to Feature Glossy Seat Backs

[Type_RawR]

Three average-sized Americans are not going to want to ride in the back of your Honda Civic. Problem solved.

Yeah you say that now but when you're girls 3 fatass sea donkey friends climb in that bitch leaving the club one night you're going to wish you had kept the 2+2 seating.

If we have a 22 civic Si, can anyone tell me if I can swap out the back seats myself or without any additional cost? I'll only have an extra seat use once in a blue moon, so no serious weight concerns imho

I have fk8, and the regular sport hatch.. I was actually trying to switch the rear seat.. it is totally possible but... if any accident happen .. insurance can get decline. Because the car is not meant for 5 passenger.
It said it on the car door label

i just don't like that the plastic cover is only partial and doesnt cover the entire back of the front seats, cloth attracts lots of dust and pet hair and harder to clean. Not sure if there is an aftermarket plastic cover it can clip on to make it all a hard back, wasn't that the case for the fk8

Cloth is easier to clean compared to scratches in the plastic. For me I’m glad that it’s cloth.

I think there's two schools of thought. Take for instance a kiddo scuffs the back of the cloth seat, whatever (inevitable) dirt from the bottom of their shoe is now embedded in the cloth. Meaning you have to sit and scrub at it for however long.

Kiddo scuffs the plastic, depending on the finish/hardness there may not even be any scratch, at worst, dirt falls on the carpet and is vacuumed up in minutes.

Plastic might actually be easier to clean!

if you have a kid, just expect shit to be a broken mess. Comes with parenting.

Anyone have an FK8 and if so, any issues with dye transfer feom jeans to the seat material?

 

[Midnight-VTEC]

Was never an issue when I had mine...

It depends on the quality of the jeans and dye used. Esp if the jeans are wet.

I've seen and have experienced dye transfer. Highly suggest using fabric protectors which guard against dye transfer.

GEON, Carpro, chemical guys, and scotchgaurd all make sprays and coatings to protect against this stuff. Also helps with stain protection etc. I'm OCD with car care if you can't tell lol.

Cheaper jeans tend to be the culprit based on my experience.

And, realistically, glossy plastic can be polished back to new, but matte plastic would be permanently scuffed.

 

[BarracksSi]

No one should have to polish it in the beginning...

My point is, you can restore a polished finish easily, but you can’t do the same with a matte finish.

Slow news day?

Slow news day?

Yes. Honda pls release the car and build 100,000 so it is sold below MSRP!

We could only hope! But yah, this thread doesn't need to be highlighted as an above-the-fold story with a huge thumbnail. It's so trivial and something more important should take it's place.

Trivial?

Bro I literally almost called all of the dealerships that have my name on the list and immediately canceled my order because of this
