Default seats....

so i went to modells today to pick up a baseball glove, get the bag and put it on the passanger seat (im an idiot should have put it on the floor i know) so i go to take it out and i notice about a 2 inch scratch on the seat i closed the door and locked her up i didnt wana get too pissed before bed.....so i think this means i have to get racing/better seats guess thats a good thing.....question is where can i get a GOOD set of racing seats that wont kill my wallet??? pictures installed would be appreciated

thanks guys/gals

Agreed.....got pics? I'd like to see the kind of damage it caused, especially if replacing the seats is justifiable.

Yeah I mean... the glove is made of leather right? so if your seats are leather how would it scratch it... I mean... unless your seats are painted? lol... but then you would figure jeans would destroy the seat....?

ahhhhhhhhh that might explain it somewhat... but I would still like to know how it messed the seats up that bad.... plus.. dye might work if your seat is leather... and... I thought he meant the plastic bag from the store to carry it to your car in lol...

yes your right it was 2 first base gloves in the plastic modells bag, i dunno how this happened and it might have been there from before but i doubt it, either way i just noticed it and its one of those things that is bugging me, not a big scratch but its there.....

the first pictures is the scratch in question and the second im showing where it starts and where it ends.....

also i know of the arzin seats but they are a little too expensive for me right now....any other suggestions?

I like their leather seats for $399 each and I would guess you have to buy hardware to install them too?
