OEM seat covers?

My 07 has some wear on the driver seat. And I was wondering if I can buy a factory replacement seat cover, or will an upholstery have to try and mimic the factory design?

You can order a OEM factory replacement from Acura but you better brace yourself for the price. Don't hold me to this number, but as I remember it was $771 for the bottom(only) leather when the dealer changed mine out under warranty. That was'nt labor either! It's easy to look up the prices at Acura. Try Delray.

You might be surprised what a nice job some auto upholstery places can do. Very lose matches, custom dye, many do quite a lot of custom work and a stock car is boring easy work for them. Don't be afraid of the shops with Impalas riding on 26" parked in front. Sometimes the best craftsmen work at those type of custom shops.

IMO your guy will use better material and warranty his work better. In the long run even a couple hundred dollars more would be worth it.
