My 2003 acura rsx had black leather very similar to the black leather to the 2008 TL I just purchased


what is up with the leather in these things


the interior is mint besides the torn up front seats


whats the fix? junkyard seats or get the seat covers right from acura?


thanks

 

get a used seat or you can buy a seat cover from Acura. Well in three Japanese (Luxury brand) Honda has the shittiest leather Lexus leather can with stand heavy abuse.

 

local salvage yard has two black leather seats for it....$150 a piece!!!


no tears or rips


my only fear is plugging them in then having an SRS light or a faulty heated seat element...hope they are good

 

You don't have to replace the whole seat, you can simply re-use the leather and/or components.

 

^^^^ This

You might even be able to make a few $$ back by selling parts not needed ( headrests, heating elements, etc)

 

good point thanks
