I just bought a used 2004 TL with tan leather interior. Very happy with it except for some leather work that needs to be done on the driver seat. Some of the stitching is cracking at the seams and it only seems to be getting worse. I've been conditioning and armor all'ing the car regularly but I don't think the previous owner did.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to re-upholster just the driver seat OEM?

the oem route

most interior places are approx 300-500 per seat..depending on the obvious...materials..colors...options...srs equipment...labor...

Yea, the stitching on the 04 wasn't very good. I think they corrected/improved it in the 05 model year.........

 

If you just do one seat, it is going to be a noticeable difference in leather texture, color, tightness and all the other stuff....

 

Not 100% true. The 04 TL has 2 sections (one line of stitching in the middle of the seat bottom) which lead to the leather stretching where the butt resides and causing butt-prints. The 05 got 3 sections (middle line, then where the butt resides 2 lines of stitching)

Take a few photos and post them here, there are some good products out there that can help all the seats out for a good price. Also like another member said, if you re-upholster one seat, it won't look right because of variations in dye, grain, texture and fit.

 

you're looking at $600 for the replacement w/ installed.

 

in the 07 model they only improved the front seat but not the back. so now i have my leather lifting up in the rear seats. stupid acura

 

05+ front seat fixed
07+ TL-S rear seats fixed.

 

Had a `93 Legend (b4 we bought a piece o`crap Jag X-type) that needed drivers seat leather replacement. The shop near us , Chicago suburbs,matched it up real well. Most reputable shops can order factory pieces and stitch things back together. I wanna say ~$250.00 11 yrs ago- so figure price of material, inflation and you're double that now, right? Our new `08 TL doesn't look like it's going to hold up much better judging from the "puckering" of the leather trim.

 

so if one seat is ~600 - how much to have the whole interior changed up?

 

A lot of money, carpets are at least 400 dollars, then floor-mats, then seats, then plastic trim, etc. Total cost would be about 5-6K...
