I've used their dye to refresh my gear shifter and e-brake.

I used these guys here in the Emirates, replaced a torn seat bolster and repainted the steering wheel and a number of trim pieces for about $500; can't tell the difference!

I had shop here in KC quote me $450.00 just to repair a bolster, I thought that was a little too high.

Suggestion
In purely mathematical terms, do you want a seat that sat 100 lbs but used 20% so the surface area to support it, or do you want a seat that used 90% to support 250 lbs?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The longevity of a seat has a direct relationship with the *** that's in it. Cute little 105 lbs woman *** vs a 210 lbs man ***. Which do you think will last longer?
Speaking purely in mathematical terms, one should last twice as long.

Hint: the latter. Fatties like me are nice and soft and spread our mass out comfortably. Bony asses are hard on upholstery.
Yes they are really worn ( driver side uggh ) a tear an smooished an cracked - thinking the 220 plus owner - I like the sparco but I would need 2 to look decent-
The foam and cover in grey to match other side - I like the power seats
A good upholstery shop could do wonders for that. If they can get the leather to be a close match, you could then re-dye both seats. I'll bet you could have a really nice result for a few hundred bucks.
Check this out if you're the DIY kind. I've used their dye to refresh my gear shifter and e-brake. Never tried the filler repair kit but if it's as good as their dye I'd give it a whirl. Worst case if you aren't satisfied with your job you're out $60, won't affect the cost of reupholstery.

My drivers seat looked very much like yours, maybe even a little worse. The fist photo is with the leather cleaned and a backing patch glued in behind the hole.

Next is after the first layer of filler.

I did the left seat bottom bolster crack fill as well.

All of this cost me a grand total of $79.00 (leather-World repair kit) and a few hours of my own labor. So, it certainly can be done, the only question is whether you want to take it on by yourself, or pay for a pro...You make the call!!!
Thanks - I guess the seat foam is shot - I guess you can use any stock seat up to 2007
Sparco makes some great looking seats but gonna keep the stock look
