Help with torn seat

I gave several people rides at last weekend's DE and apparently someone had something in their back pocket because now I have a small rip/puncture tear on the right side bolster of my passenger seat.

I'm so pissed off about it as other than this the interior of my car is perfect

Does anyone know of a way this can be repaired without replacing the entire seat? Any idea of cost?

A good uphulstry shop could match the leather and replace that portion. I'm not sure of the cost though.

You would be amazed with what an upholstery shop can do. It shouldnt cost your more than $150, and the patch will be invisible.

correct me if I am wrong, but DE means Driving Event... you know, driving around the track or autocross course

Oops. Mis-read the question. I thought you wanted to know WHICH DE I was talking about not WHAT a DE is.

Exoticalex is correct. It Driver's Education for high performance driving typically held on a race track. You should look into it through the Porsche Club of America. You'll be able to enjoy your car at the limit within a reasonably safe venue.
