Hi
I'm just new here, and I bought LX-P 6 months ago.
But as you know, my seats are fabric(which is the one thing I don't like).
In addition, the color is IVORY !!
I found this leather seat covers from E-bay

It looks okay,
but I'm still doubtful about the quality of those
does it fit for LX-P like OEM ?
and is it possible to change to black interior from ivory?
Thx

I wouldn't buy anything other than factory take offs. Our cars have side airbags and I'd be very hesitant to cover them with something that wasn't designed for the'08 Coupe. I have seen factory take off leather and cloth seat covers on ebay, they are rare, but do show up once in a while. Others probably have their own opinion, I just wouldn't put something on that may do more harm than good. Just my 2 cents worth :D

The seats are stitched with special thread for the airbag to rip them easily. I wouldn't recommend getting that cover. I also read one time that the airbag light will come one just from the wrong cover being there. I have a slip on cover on mine and the light did come but I don't know if that is the reason. I'm too lazy to take them off to confirm that.

Umm, stupid question, but since you just bought this brand new car, why did you buy one that obviously has an interior that you dislike so much!!??? :dunno:

Will have to agree with previous posts.
Do NOT do it. It will prevent airbags from deploying properly.
We did it once for a customer with CR-V and we had to make them sign a waiver.

I'll throw my 2C in. As other members correctly note, doing so will seriously compromise the safety and operation of your airbags. I would not do it.
