    Help on SE-i interior

    Hi I just inherited an SE-i with 120k miles. The paint sucks and the seats suck worse. Anyone know if any good (interior) shops that are cheap in san diego? I read on how to condition them on another thread but mine needs a full redo. As well as the ceiling with a bit of water damage... Thanks

    Re: Help on SE-i interior

    In some cases, it's cheaper (but harder) to just find another SE-i that was totaled or something, and take the seats out of it. Since you have a sedan, it might be harder or easier than a coupe, depending on where you live. Here in Washington, there are seriously no SE-i sedans. The ceiling is another story. Pictures, please...

    Your ceiling is stained because the sunroof drains are plugged up, probably the rear ones. Do a search here on how to fix them, but briefly: take out the trunk liners, pull the plastic drain tubes out where they go through the body on the way out, clean, reinsert. The front drains come out under the fender liners.

    Probably the side panels are ok, just the seats are bad. You might be in for a long haul to find the right decent leather seats...forget about a repair shop unless you have mucho bucks. I'd go to the JY, find fairly good front and back seats, put them in with seat covers if you don't like the colors, then continue your search for the leather.

    You should take the ".th" out of all of those image codes.

    Wow... that thing has seen better days for sure, the leather is pretty beat. If you were closer I would just sell you one of my sets of seats from my old se-i;s

    Oh I know there are seat covers... I imagine the seats are in similar condition to the armrest though, as that sees less wear then the seats generally.

    I wouldn't even know on shipping... I would guess a few hundred dollars at least.
