Do you have before and after pics?

Was the $250 just for the side vinyl? I have a crack on the side vinyl of my driver's seat that I would like to get taken care of. The rest of my leather is in excellent condition, so I only need this one tear repaired.

So today I went to a well-recommended guy here in Atlanta to get a repair estimate. He wants to do both the vinyl side piece of my driver's seat as well as the left-most leather panel that you sit on. He quoted me $300 for the complete job. He guarantees the leather will match.

Oh, and he said he would do the side piece in leather, rather than vinyl.

I do not. The side panel of the seat, drivers side was all cracked and tattered looking. I had the shop re-use the adjacent top panel as it is leather. The color matched (beige) vinyl match the top panel of the seat well, and the stitching looked good too!
