My 96 project car has worn areas on the drivers seat bolster area and a ripped seat cushion on the front passenger seat. Has anyone successfully had this type of damage repaired successfully and if so what was the cost? Thanks

Wow that's pricey. I guess I'll just get some seat cushions that over the top to cover up the damage.

No the shop who did it bought new leather and made new covers also did seat foams over. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_vxp=mtr&_from=R40&_nkw=1998+Buick+Riviera+Base+3.8L+front+seat+covers&_sacat=6030&_fosrp=1
