Unbearable Leather Seats...

I live in San Diego, California. I own a 96' Honda Accord EX with leather seats. For those of you that have ever visited or lived down here know that the heat is incredible. Parking my car out in the sun for 15 minutes make the inside extrememly hot because of all the leather. I need recomendation on a new seat which would be able to install on my model car. I preffer racing seats, no price range as of now.

Sparco (great, great seats but expensive), Recaro (nice average seat), Ebay knock off, probably functional but not going to be very comfortable. Personally I'd get Recaro seats then see if you can sell your leather seats.

what color is your leather? mine is a dark gray. i just put a black towel down to keep it from getting hot. i just shove it between the backrest and the actual seat part.

RE: Unbearable Leather Seats...

I'd suggest doing what I do and that is to set the air cond to on at 65 degrees and use my remote start to turn the car on 5-10 minutes before I go to get into it ..there fore I never get into a hot car..in the winter I do the same except for it's setting the heat on to HOT before I get to the car....
Am I the only one that does such a thing?
