How hard is it to repair worn seats?

[Hybrid1990crx]

I'm thinking about picking up a set of Si seats, but they have a bit of wear on the bolster of the driver side seat. They have like 3 holes the size of quarters. How hard will it be to fix these?

Best bet would be to have them recovered by someone who knows what they're doin'.

and how much do you think that will cost?

No holes, no rips, no burns... a little wear on the bolster of the driver-side seat from getting in/out of the car. Other than that, perfect shape:

i wouldnt get them completely recovered because of three small holes! a professional will charge anywhere around $500cdn. (for both front seats). just stitch it up yourself.

i had a friend who took the covers off his seats, and bought fabric, matched up each pattern piece, and stiched it up and stuck it back on the seat, looks really good, he said it just took a long time heh

not like seat covers by the way i mean the actual fabric on the seat :0)

Damn! When I had my truck I was quoted $75 (USD) per seat for any material except leather. It's been a few years, but I can't imagine prices have gone up that much...

You know what would be a good idea? Whether or not your seats are messed up on the bolster, is to wrap part of the bolster in black leather, make it look factory, I think that will look very sharp and you will never have to worry about avoiding on sliding in and out of the seat. Right now I am very paranoid on getting in and out of my car, I always get in/out without my back touching the bolster, sometimes I recline the seat before i get in. My drivers seat is starting to show some wear and the black has faded to white and the material is getting thin.
