Fixed leather seats not too $$$

So I bought this car about a month ago and this huge tear was driving me nuts. Acura wanted 420 just for the bottom cover which was out of my budget. Local shop fixed two rows with new material for 225. Not too bad and they match pretty well

Thanks guys, Unfortunately I live in Toledo,ohio haha But any upholstery shop that does custom work should be able to help you out. This was a great alternative to the $420 it would be from Acura just for the bottom seat cover

You could have gotten brand new bottom (tush) leather from autocustomleathers.com. Mine were $230 each with shipping to repair both front seats.

Wanna see the before and after pics?

The tears in leather
Tears with filler
Polished surface
Polished surface
Painted & varnished

About 60$ per kit that is supposed to be enough for front seats & armrest renewal.
