Racing seats if you are going for the sport or race look.
Leather if you want a more show appeal.
You will slide in leather so if you do a lot of cornering or any corner based racing keep this in mind.
My personal choice is race seats.

Racing seats... I love mine. Money well spent. They hold your ass in like some tightey whiteys...
Oh and even though I got non-reclinables, they are unusually comfy... i was very surprised because they only have like 1 1/2" of foam padding.

Just wondering...but why racing seats when you have the i4? The leather on the EX is pretty nice as is IMO...though I'm looking at racing seats too.

racing seats and a pair of leather pants 
if i were in your shoes id get my whole interior hooked up instead of just getting a pair of new seats.. it wouldnt look right with an ex interior and 2 racing seats unless it was gutted imo..

Depends... on today's cars it is getting to be more like that... but in a car like an Integra, where the whole interior is simple and plastic black, racing seats look like they belong there.

I bought my girlfriend a full leather set on ebay for $450.00 + $30.00 for shipping. It included everything & was pretty damn close in quality to my buddy's factory V6 leather. It cost me $100.00 to have a local upholstery shop put it all on.
Here's a link to their current auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2412274286
