ok so my leather seats theres some parts wear'd down cracked from being moist than the sun hits or whatever...
so i guess you can buy that stuff its like white? it looks like if you were using autobody glaze for rust outside the car on your leather and you paint it?
well does it come out soft again? or does it feel really rough and hard? because i rather have creases that are soft than have REALLY hard leather seats?
anyone that has "refined" their seats or know info please post thankyou

So you got some part of your seats wet, and it absorbed into the leather, and when it dried its HARD? This happened to my front seats..like half of the middle insert is relatively soft, and theres a slight crease, and in a corner its very hard
You can't fix the problem. The only thing you can do is to clean and condition your seats (the damage/use is already done)
You can try redyeing the seats (kind of like painting it)
Again, you are covering the problem up, and like with any non oem mod, it won't last long, and the seats will even get harder.
The only way to fix your problem is....to live with it
get new leather seats, or slap some seat covers on it

how much is a new driver oem seat gonna cost me?
i mean i found coil overs for 543 bucks... usually 800+ for our cars but i found pretty good name brand ones so im most likely gonna get rims and lower it with tint for the spring and im really thinking about gettin a aftermarket front bumper and painting the whole car dark emerald green

Thank you for the reference 92ES5sp!
rtk7, Most shops that I asked all said the same thing, ~$500 for the front seats (That's per seat). And ~$300-$600 for the entire back. Either way you do NOT want to buy any seat covers, not even those ones on eBay that a few people have questioned. Another alternative repair method would be to just replace any patches of leather that are more damaged than the rest of the seat which would be very cheap (~$20-$40 per patch + labor). Either way I wish you the best with improving the interior of your car.

Oh and about painting anything dark emerald pearl, Toyota paint can be expensive! I used a metallica Mazda paint for my spoiler and the matching is almost perfect and there has been no chipping. Although I don't know how it would look on a much larger scale so I'm not saying throw it on. I'm just giving ya my two cents.

hmm im gonna check out some local shops that do interior... not many here our city is small but im gonna do patches probally i just need the part where you sit and a patch on where your back is touchin replaced the other parts where sun dont hit are perfect still its just some places are little hard
