Sup guys.
Question.
I just listed random brands that make high-end racing seats and was wondering how much it will actually cost to repair a tear. (Let's say around 1~2 in.).
I don't have any of these seats, but just a curiosity.
Do you need to purchase the original fabric? Can it just be stitched? and approximately how much?

Don't buy the seat..

Depending on the location, size, and type of tear you are most likley best off asking an automotive upholstery shop. Lots of places can repair a seat for a lot less than the cost of buying a new one if it's just something as simple as the envelope tearing.

If there is something more to the tear that cuts into the seat's core and weakens it structurally, don't buy the seat...get a new one.

Does that help?

Yeah sorry man I'm just trying to save you a pain in the ****. I know you think of buying a seat from like craigslist or something. Not worth it.

at bare minimum your gona be spending 50-60 bucks for a quick easy fix.. the price wil fluctuate depending on the damage.
