Default Seat cushion cover pricing Q

So my burgundy leather seat cushions are ripped (leather is torn, not just seams undone) the backs are in nice shape and so is the rest of my interior. Best price I've gotten for two seat cushion covers in impoted leather is $500. Is that a good price? Never dealt with upholstery stuff before, seems like a lot.

Does anybody have a good source for this type of work? There is nobody remotely "local" to me that I would trust to do the work right (the sewing of the covers I mean). Phone conversations have been like; "a porch seat cover?, yeah can probly do dat"

Too scary for me

TIA

I have a guy local to me that will import the leather and get identical perforated leather for the inserts. The price he quoted me was 1500.00 for the two front seats so 500.00 for just one seat bottom might be a bit steep...

My seats were done in South Carolina. The price was $1500 for the 2 front seats and the backseats. Here's a pic of their work. pm me if you want more info.

Check Rennbay. I purchased my burgendy sport seat covers from them. Took my uph. shop a little extra work to get them to fit correctly.

Juan thanks but the Samoan look is not my style

dlr944 thanks for the pic, those look real nice, will have to look at rennbay.

I will also check out a place that Jesse recomended, his interior is really nicely done.

Thanks all , now I have something to work with.....as soon as I get a break from work.
