Default Repair or replace scratched red leather

Hello all,

I just got out my s2000 and a button on my jeans has managed to scratch the red leather. Is it worth replacing or repairing?

Here is a picture....



Im sure this has happened before to other owners im just wondering what to do about it.

Thanks

Depends on your $ situation. It'll cost you about 1K$ just for the leather at the dealer and about $700 from Hondaautomotiveparts. I'd replace it. I don't think a repair job would look that good. Too bad

I will keep my ear to the ground for a second hand seat but am thinking thats probably going to have the same problem if not worse. At least its not fully ripped that would be soul destroying

Get the Classio covers on sale now in the Marketplace. $300 bucks plus shipping. They fit very well.

You can get them refinished by a local leather guy... I got mine redone and came out like new: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry15844752
