Yes. The passenger seat of my ridgeline got something spilled on it and now the leather is cracking (no matter how much I try and condition the shit out of the leather). So, I will eventually be needing to replace that... plus I need to redo the kidney bolster on the driver seat as well.

If you're willing to come out here, in Fontana there is a place called The Upholstery Shop, however they just changed their name to that so it will be easier to find if you look for Jose's Upholstery. It's off of Alder and Foothill, kind of. They quoted me 150 per seat for just the bottom part, never got around to it yet though. The number is (909) 823-8141

I actually work in Fontana now. Been away from Aline for a minute now and haven't gotten a chance to check the thread. I'm one of the Marine Recruiters for Fontana. I'll check it out. Do you know what the turn around is?

They repaired it in one day after waiting a couple of weeks for the Materials to come in. Total for materials, perforation and labor was about $220

I went to arthur's auto upholstery in pasadena. Great price, turnaround time was only about 6 hours. I dropped it off at 10am and they had it done by 4pm. Price was $250 for the whole bottom silver section which is more than fair considering the other quotes I have gotten.

Btw, I found out about them through sierra acura dealership. I asked the employee there who's there go-to guy for leather repair. When I got to the shop he confirmed that he has worked on a lot of acura seats

Wow seats came out great guys! Hate that acura went with perforated leather for the seats.. They're more prone to damage more quickly.

Are there any other shops?

Paperboy hows the leather holding up? Does the feel, and color of the replacement leather same as the oem. I had a friend that got his seat leather replaced and its noticeably softer.

when the leather was first replaced the color was maybe like a shade off from oem, but as time passed, I cant even tell a difference anymore. It's like the color match got better with time. It makes sense because new leather does color fade a bit.
Feel-wise its pretty good, I guess it is a little bit softer than stock, but that's not a bad thing because the stock leather is quite hard. I have absolutely no complaints

Update!!!
Passenger seat started ripping as well so I decided to get both seats redone. They even replaced the piece they had recently done to make sure the color matched and they even re padded the center arm rest.

here's how mine's holding up 9 months later, as you can see the match is pretty much exact unless you're looking for it.

Nice updates. I will probably take mine to Pasadena since Fontana is a bit of a drive.
