seat wear
Still considering a 2004- I did note there was excess wear on the drivers bolster almost a rough abraded look- Will this require seat cover replacement or is there detailing trick?

Probably the best solution is a carefully applied leather die. What color are your seats? You can also try a scuff repair product, like Kiwi.
After some research, I bought this one to touch up my black leather seats. One reviewer said it worked great on his BMW seats. I can give feedback after using it.

Be careful the dye doesn't stain your clothes.
Some months ago, I was talking to the guys at the shop that was replacing the top in my Boxster and I was told that in the case of a worn seat bolster, or some other panel/part of the seat, the entire seat doesn't need to be recovered.
Just the portion that is damaged is all the need be done. The guys assured me they could color/texture match the new to the old pretty close. Might not pass concourse level inspection but I'm sure my butt won't care.
So far my seats have held up pretty good, though the driver's seat is starting to show the ravages of time and use. But when the time comes I'm opting for partial seat repair, vs. having the entire seat done.
As long as the repair looks pretty good and proves to be as durable as the original that's ok with me.
