Hi Allan
TL fitted the hide interior, via my dealership, on a Milano Red EX. This was some time ago and before Honda offered it as an option with the EX model.
I did actually get to see this prior to the customer collecting the car. It was all black, the bolsters, headrests and door cards in plain with the seat facings perforated. The stitching was the same as mine, ie. in silver.
It looked fantastic with the car's red exterior, a real quality job and I would personally rate it a notch up from Honda's factory fit option. The only possible minus being the lack of heated seats, but like you, I've had them in the past and they hardly ever got used.
Best of luck tomorrow - just wish you had gone for the red facings on your NHB. - but I am sure the all black will look great.

PS Just double check your plastic trim around the doors after fitting - my Civic was fine but my wife's Jazz, which was done some 18 months earlier, had a small scuff on one of the door pillars and was replaced - nothing too serious though. This was caused by my dealership and not TL.
