    Default Amazing leather repair...

    I finally got around to getting the worn driver's seat bolster fixed on the 540 and they did such a good job I thought I'd post some pictures

    This was this morning...(not so great a picture, bad light)


    And this is the after: (from a little further away too aparently..)


    They did an amazing job, the difference is night and day. They just brought in the bolster a little and re-stitched it. To look at it you'd never know there was any work done. I can finally get in and out of my car like a normal person

    It was $90. I think it was a good price, eventhough I have no experience pricing leather repair. These guys are the only game in town so I had nothing to compare them to

    Wow. That's damn nice.

    I need to look in to having some leather guy stitch up the backrest of my rear seat at the top - the sun has detioriated the thread up there to the point where its split in places...

    both of you guys need to "feed" tat leater BEFORE you stitch it back.....or it's gonna tear when they restitch it and recover the seat with the fixed leather.......Good luck with that.

    Okay. There's two tricks I want to learn to impress my friends.
    1) Leather repair
    2) Paintless dent repair

    Seriously. They're like magic.

    My dad tore a hole in the leather on his driver's seat recently. Took it to a leather guy who worked out of his house - $50 later the repair is absolutely invisible. Amazing.
