worn out leather seats
My leather seats are getting worn out- especially the drivers side where the seam is. Has anyone replaced the seats in their cl? where can i get them? how much? can i still use the electric seat adjusters?

Ive done it...the drivers side seat on the left side and the front. . i got the blk leather replaced. My car was at the shop about 5 hrs. My dad knows a lady who owns a custom chop shop that does custom hot rods and custom apholstry so we got a really good deal. I also lucked out because they already had the acura matched leather so i didnt have to buy that...(that shits expencive so ive heard) So, im thinkin $200 was what i paid for 2 new strips of leather about 12" long and 6" wide...My advice, go to a shop like i did, not a dealer cuz you'll get screwed

Oh, why the leathers off, ask them to check your wires for the heated seat (if u have them) i was told my were freiged ( i guess acura put them in a bad sopt cuz many have complained of the heat stoped working) so yea, have them check to see if their broken...

I've heard good things about.....
Hey guys. I've been thru and experienced having to replace the leather seats on my wife's ride, a 95 Lexus SC300.
From guys on that forum a year or more ago I learned about this company,
leatherseats.com
They offer two tone replacement leather seat covers which are just like the original seats. Also, for you adventurous guys, I hear that the perforated leather is somewhat popular. The only problem that I ran into was finding a competent installer to do the work for me.
Check the site out, and no, I am in no way associated with those guys. Good luck.

I have heard good things about leatherseats.com from the legend forums but i got some of their samples and the leather didnt look great. I really want some new seats though
