Thumbs up Front Leather Seats Redo or Scrapyard?

Hey guys,

My front 2 leather seats in my 96 2.5 TL are cracking and a few tears. Not horrible but not great either. However, my back seats are in very good shape, almost like no one ever sat back there.

What would be the best way to get these 2 front seats fixed

1. Take it to a shop to reupholster leather? (seems pretty expensive)

or

2. Find a wrecked or someone parting one out and get the seats from there?

Also, since the 2.5 didnt come with heated seats will the seats from a 3.2 still work? Would I have to swap out seat tracks? Or direct bolt on?

Just wanna get some opinions also how much if anyone has got a shop to reupholster?

The 3.2 seats should still work, you just obviously wont have the heated option. Personally I would try to find em at a scrap yard, but depending on where you are it may not be easy. But it certainly would cost you less to find em then re-do, I think there is a pair of tan ones on Ebay right now too!!
