The leather seats in my 01 type S are worn to the point that the foam is sticking out. Looks really impressive when there are passengers in the car.

I replaced the drivers side from a salvage yard in Tampa. Now that the passenger side is shot I can't find one anywhere in the continental US.

I am aware that the dealership carries seat bottoms but they go for $444 and that does not include installation.

Any suggestions??

Look up upholstery shops. While they won't be able to match it, the may recover your seats completely with something close.

+ 1 . i would use this opportunity to customize the seats. Maybe a different color if yo ever thought of that. You can also go back to the same color. But most good upholstery shops can fix that problem.

When you sya you replaced the driver's side already, does that mean you replaced the leather or the whole seat from a junk yard? I was wondering if anyone has replaced just the OEM leather due to age & wear & tear.

I replaced the whole seat and it worked like a charm...I have been in touch with upholstery shops and it will cost a fortune to replicate the leather with those @#$! pinholes that wear so fast. I had one of the first G35's to come out in 03 and it did the same thing.

You can replace the OEM leather but it is very pricey...

Consider getting quality fitted sheepskin seat covers (before the foam pokes through)?

I don't have sheepskins because I'm nice to my leather, and so far it's aging well (01 CL-S, 106k). Actually if it wasn't perforated, I would prob have sheepskins, as I would stick to the leather.
