So I was led to these seats from a Craigslist ad (and Jason) and it seems like a killer deal. Full leather swap from a '00 SS for my cloth seats. However, his drivers seat has seen better days. Its not terrible but it needs some repair.

This is what he emailed me :The problem with the driverseat bolster is as you can see there is a spot (about and inch--thats my thumb nail in the pic) where its separating at the seam. Then in that same spot, the leather is starting to split on the crack there. I have been keeping it covered since that happened so it doesn't get agitated or worse. Then you can't really tell until you get close up, but one of the cracks on the seat bottom split a little bit. This spot isn't so bad, the leather is thinker here and isn't so vulnerable. You can see in the one pic I tried pulling it apart a bit between my fingers so you can see it at its worst. Other than up close tho, you really don't notice it as you can't tell unless you literally open it like i did for the picture.

What do you think this would cost to repair, and is it worth it? The other seats are in good shape besides the drivers. What would you do?
