hmmmm, may be to big for a patch kit they sell at walmart, try a local upholstry shop or see what the dealership says they'd do. at worst you can buy a new skin and get it recovered, you can do it yourself.

Alrite sounds like the whole walmart thing just sounds to cheap and not worth the time and the dealership is a possibility but the last thing u said buying a new cover do they sell those on ebay?

buy bottom covers for both front seats, check around for pricing. In the future use some leather conditioner to prevent this from happening and wipe any liquid off your seats ASAP. I have a 99 TL 128k miles and seats look extremely good because I condition them once every 3 months. takes only 10mins. That sucks that you have a hole that big. I would be pissed!

I'm in the same position right now and buying a new cover is wayyyy to expensive, I would just go to an upholstry shop and get that part re-done, from my research it's about $100 to fix that, anyone recommend any shops in my area or in xsharkbaitx19's area??????

Had an excellent repair recently performed by the "seat surgeon", and was only 100$. He does work in the NJ/Philly area, and you may have to meet him at one of the car dealerships he services, though he does work for some Acura dealerships. Note: The dealership can mark up as much as 100%, so contact him directly.

Read following link. Looks pretty good to me.

Leather Seat Repair

I've used the cheap vinyl repair kits and they can do an acceptable job,...if you're not too picky. Above link may be much better.

good luck
