Default Leather Seat? Replace/Redo

I have a 25th TA and the seats are kind of tore up. Is it better to have a local shop redo them or can you buy new skins for them or do I have to buy the whole new seat, and if thats the case will it be possible to find the seats out of a 25th. They have some embroidery on them so it can be just any ole seat. What to do, what to do? OH ya, how much you think all that will cost?

I'd buy all new skins. Mine came from www.autoleathers.com Probably be ~800$ for new skins, but you can pick the colors, pattern, stitching, and embroidery...

Good luck!

I went to a local shop in my area for ***** and giggles...... said it would be close to 2k for new leather seat, and that' still with leather backing, and two tone. i told him i wasn't ready to spend that kinda money.

that website looks good though, good prices. I'm also thinkin about the wetokle seatcovers....

anyone try the autoleathers.com? i'm wondering on the quality of the leather, compared to the original seats..... i was thinkin about it today, i might go through them, but i don't like not being able to feel the leather first.

just an idea, you might check out some aftermarket racing seats like sparco or corbeau. My seats are starting to get some bad cracks and I think im going to buy some nice seats to replace them when I do.
they have different materials that should match the interior good

Did you see my reply above?
The quality of the leather is *much* better than the stock leather. *Much* better.
