Default How much to repair?

So today while I was out of town some assmunch decided he wanted to steal my car well my dad pulled up while he was trying to steal my car so my dad pulled out his gun and shot the guy in the leg and the dude kept on running anyway so somehow he ripped the **** out of my seat so now there's huge rips in it so I was wondering how much it would be to fix it or would it be cheaper to replace? Any input is greatly appreciated!

replace the seat, easy to install urself and not too expensive to buy, reupholstering costs the same i think.. but those cuts are way too deep to jus reupholster.

In texas you can shoot to kill if they are on your property trying to steal anything on your property lol that robber is LUCKY as hell he's still alive, if it were some of the people i know that were trying to get robbed, that mans entire family would've been killed.

When will people EVER learn that people put there hard earned money into everything they steal or attempt to steal.

WTF!? In Oklahoma someone tries to steal your car and your dad just shoots them!? Crazy enough he carries a gun around like that, but it seems like it's a good thing he does. Crazy story though.

I was quoted a while back 300 for both front seats to be re wrapped in leather by this mobile guy that does really good work. That's going from cloth to real leather, not vinyl.

I ended up deciding to keep the cloth interior because I don't like how the vinyl/leather feels in camaros and trans ams for some reason. He did my headliner and visors better than new though for 80 bucks.

If your dad shot him in the leg, then it should just be a matter of time till he has to hit up the hospital and they call in the police.

cheaper to fix seat n smarter to just scare the guy away.
Shootin him is like getting full new interior & carpet just cuz your seat is ripped.

Maybe upgrade seats while you're at it? Yeah it'll cost more I suppose, but it's an excuse to do it.
