leather, or not.

Hey, great thread! I will be getting my monster out of the shop on Monday (daughter rear-ended someone while driving. That will be the last time...) and I have been thinking about redoing or replacing the seats. My leather front seats are showing some wear (leather is peeling). Any thoughts on redoing or replacing? Is there a more modern Recaro seat that you know of that fits well as a replacement?

"Wintermute" in Santa Monica had his red/black leather seats completely reconditioned and re-dyed about 3 months ago, even had one small cut repaired...I think they were done on site too. The guy custom mixed dye to match both colors. He sent me before/after pics and it was amazing. I believe he said it was like $700 for the 2 fronts. Now you can pretty much buy 2 replacement seats for that, heck even buy all 4 from that one seller on bay, but they looked virtually new, just a top notch job. Don't know the company name, but wintermute would. Or maybe he could tell you what the technique/process was called and you could try to find someone that way.
