buy a seat with semiworn cloth but good padding, and swap the upholstery.

Take them to an upholstery shop. If the seats aren't leather, you could also get them to slap some leather on them for you. Or find a parts car RX-7, and take the seats.

It is very expensive to do seats in leather. His cushions are bad so if he took them into an uphostery shop they could redo just the bottom cushions. Since he is in LA he could hop across the border to TJ's and get it done really cheap,lol.

did you get your seat fixed? if not I might be able to help you. I am trading seats in my car because the leather is shot but may have some good pads.
