Default Torn leather on driver side seat.

I guess from the years of getting in and out of the car the leather on the driver side started to crack and now the seat has a 3 inch tear. Anyone in Southern California area know of a place that can replace the leather? I found a whole new seat with airbag and all for $400 but I just need the leather not the entire seat. Im pretty bummed out about it considering I condition the leather and keep the car in good condition. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'd like to have an answer to this query as well. Anyone have an idea of where to go?

I ordered some replacements on ebay for my girlfriend's 2010 RX450h in gray and it was pretty good match color wise. It was around $350 for both front seat bottoms or $160 for one. I ended up taking off the seat bottoms and changed them myself with hog ring pliers from Amazon. Looks brand new again.

As for seat repair, every shop I looked for wanted more than I wanted to spend so I'm also looking for my other cars.

I've never used them before but I saved the link for my future use. You can read the reviews on Yelps.
