Perforated Leather

Afternoon folks,

So I have spent some time trying to locate a yard of fully perforated ebony leather and/or vinyl. My driver seat has a nasty rip in it and everyone local to me sells faux perofrated (Solid backing) which is not good for the air conditioned seats.

Anyone seen any shops local to them that have this?

Thank you.

Do you have a leather that matches close enough to the factory one?
I could have it shipped to the states than drive to get it. Zip 13662

Hey knv8, how much would your shop cost to fix the driver seat and the passenger seat? I'm located in LA California.

So, can you get the exact leather that matches the acura material?
I have family in not too far from you I can have it shipped to.

My local shop in WA does custom hot rod upholstery and they can match the color exactly from their book of available products. They quoted me $200 to do the whole passenger seat. This includes removal of seat, removing the leather at the stitch, stretching the new piece and re-stitching. Vinyl is a little bit cheaper but this is a $50k car. Im willing to spend the extra $$

Did you take your car into Tito's? Would you happen to know about how far it is from SD? What did you mean when you said they changed the seat bottom but not the sides?
