Those look awful. I think you should give them to me.
For real though.. Do the door cards (red) That would tie it together perfectly.

Looks pretty good, very "vibrant" but I think in these cars that can work. Get some other red alcantara accents in there - door panels, maybe steering wheel - and it'd look right at home.

The color is not my cup of tea, and I would never put alcantara or suede on a part of the car that is touched by the occupants more than a couple times a year because of wear rates.
I'm sure they hold you in place though.
The quality and fit look amazing, so kudos to whomever made the seat covers. This is the second set of aftermarket seat covers we've seen that fit properly.
What color is the exterior?

I like it. I bet those are a comfy ride. Door panels would look good (red), or possibly even the hockey sticks if you don't ( a little less red), but I say something doors for sure, will bring it all together.

I don't think more red alcantara in the right spots will be any more distracting than an OEM red interior. Especially without the center console or upper middle dash being done and etc.
Personally if I were to do a color change in one of these cars, I'd do it over all of the OEM colored bits. Ie. wherever there is gray/blue/red/green on the OEM interior I'd replace with the "new" color.

What do you think ?
I like that a lot

if you can do the console red too, I think that would be perfect
I think that last picture looks great. With the gray I think it has too much going on and just the red strip there adds an accent without being overwhelming.

Suede, I'd agree with, but Alcantara can hold up very very well. My 2001 Audi S4 had alcantera seats. After 95k miles and 5 years, they still looked great. For what it's worth, I was also a regular DD for my friends back then, so the car was regularly full of people at lunch or after hours.
These are among the final pics I have of it.
My wheel bolts require more torque than your honda makes.
Steering wheels and those sorts of things (shift knobs, e-brake handles) tend to age in Alcantara less because of contact, and more because of grease/grime from the hands becoming embedded in the fibers.
Two things reek havoc on Alcantara:
Grease/grime
Rubbing
This is why a lot of seats have Alcantara just in the center, because it doesn't get rubbed up against. Alcantara seat bolsters do have a tendency to wear down and get that bad looking shine to them. Grease/grime can - to an extent - be cleaned out. Warm water, toothbrush, and a gentle massaging work wonders. But Alcantara that has rubbed down is essentially ruined.
