Does anyone else dislike the "suede" panels on the seats? In my previous 22 Civic Sport Touring, the seats were entirely "leather" and cleaned up really nicely, but the "suede" just picks up ALL dust and hair and is really difficult to keep clean.

I was actually thinking of swapping out the Integra seats with those Civic seats, but the dealer didn't know if they would fit and JUST the driver's seat was over $1,700.

I went to a local auto upholstery place and decided to swap out the suede parts for 100% real leather that is color-matched for $1,300. Got my appointment in May and I'll update you guys with the result then.

That's a great idea, looking forward to the results!

Wow. That's an investment in seating. Share some photos. I have over 15k miles on mine and there isn't any noticeable wear

Yeah, it’s definitely an investment! But I have dogs and a cat and although they absolutely do NOT get in my vehicle, their hair always manages to.

There’s no wear per se, but I just can’t keep it lint, dust and hair free even with a lint roller.

I could just get seat covers, but I don’t want to rock those on a brand new car lol.

This is the only Acura with near full microsuede seats, the others have full leatherette or milano leather with suede inserts which I wish we just got also. Probably did it for cost reasons maybe and because the Integra is supposed to be that fun, sporty compact, but just wish they gave us milano leather too.

Yeah I might see about getting some kind of design or using perforated leather for some of the panels to give it more interest as well.
