        People seem to have decent results with the lseat kits, considering what they cost

        Edit: Ive been doing some further reading into the lseat kits. It turns out they are using bonded leather which explains the cheap price. Bonded leather may have some significant long term durability issues depending on the quality of the material used. Some interesting info here: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=147144&start=50

          I am using a kit from https://leatherworldtech.com/

          You fill some deeper cracks. and you respray the whole seat with new dye.

            @Andrew used the eBay kits I believe when he redid the seats in @gilber33’s coupe.

              If you want to go the full re-upholstery route, Ace Auto Trim in West Bend does good work.  They are old school.  Not even a website.
