I use my '06 C4S cab as a daily driver, but keep her super clean. The front seats are starting to show their age, however, which has prompted me to start thinking about replacement or recovering options. As-new full leather seats are very difficult to find, especially with the 14-way power setup (even in black), and OEM replacement leather for the whole seat looks to run in the ballpark of $5K (for the driver & passenger together) before installation by an upholsterer. Keeping the OEM look & feel are important to me, by the way.

I know many in this crowd have addressed this issue, would greatly appreciate any constructive thoughts or suggestions - especially recommendations for quality upholsterers in the Los Angeles area.

Many thanks in advance.

 

If they don't have tears you can get them re dyed, or even if ripped, they can be fixed and re dyed, in live in Chicago so I can't direct you to a good place but when my driver seat started wearing from the left side were you get in and out I called a guy I know, he matched the dye color (you can always buy it on line) and sprayed in my seat and looks new again, all for 100 bucks.

 

Simply take them to a seat shop and have them refinished. What guys used to do, when they wanted to recover, was to drive them to Tijuana and leave them for a week. Prices may have changed but it would be infinitely cheaper there for a good leather job.
