I really like those white ones minus the H emblem. That would look great on my TW. That orange one looks bad IMO. Too flashy. I would want something more subtle. If not the white and black one maybe just all black. Are those seat covers or actual seats? I might be interested in something like that.

They were a $1700 custom dealer installed option on this particular car. You could get a similar look using a kit from the Katzkin Leather Co. and even possibly DIY with a little know how: Katzkin Leather Interiors

i work at a dealership in the dfw area, we've got a red sport with aftermarket leather (black with red stitch and a red honda emblem). Most dealerships have someone they can get to add aftermarket leather for you if you want. This was really popular in the del sol's back in the day too. Expect to pay $$ for it though. katskinz does some great covers too, just saw a "how-to" install in a car audio magazine today at barnes and noble.

You're right.
I have an 08 gd3 and had leather installed as part of my purchase pkg. They could do pretty much whatever I wanted, two-tone, colored stitching etc. Cost was $1400. I love mine.

i think i'm gonna go with the wet okole seat covers. gotta love neoprene! doesn't get hot or cold like leather, protects the cloth pretty well against sand/dirt (even water) and semi-customizable.

I agree cloth feels more comfy, but leather looks better and is a lot easier to keep clean. The cloth on the gd3 was one my least favorite things about the Fit. Dealer let me drive it for 2 days before purchase and already it was picking up lint etc like crazy.
But yeah leather isn't for everyone.
