Default Leather Seat Rip

So the leather on my drivers side seat started to randomly rip in a couple of places and it makes the car look like ****.
Anyways, my question is does anyone know what i can do? Is there a place to get a new leather seat skin for mustangs to match mine for cheap? Any suggestions or feedback would be great. Ty

Default Same here

I have one rip that the car came with, so i don't know that replacing the seats would be the best idea.. But if i was so inclined to change the seats to something lightweight, anybody here have any ideas what the cost on something like that is?

I would upgrade to Mach/Cobra/Bullitt seats.

You could have them reupholstered but you might as well upgrade if you are spending the money.

Yeah my drivers seat is started to crack/rip. I used some leather conditioner eariler and I think I need to apply some again. It won't help the rips already but I think it will help prevent the "creases" to soon become cracks

You can get those rips and cracks eliminated. Call up your local furniture store and ask them if there is a leather expert locally. I had a friend who had a mess of a driver's seat. Cracks, rips, splotches, stains.. he called up this lady who lives around here and for 100 bucks she arrived on time at noon, spent about 2 hours in the car, and when she was done, everything was brand new looking again.
