Default SC400 Skin replacement

I am thinking of replacing the skin of my new Sexy, the two front seats have rips in them and the arm rest and e-brake cover really needs replacement. I said all that to ask this, has anyone ever used classicsofttrim.com, they seem to affer the same product as leatherseats.com, but classic has a lifetime warranty on their product. They offer it for $699 shipped or $999 if they install it. I dont know if you get the warranty if you install it yourself, I have to call and see. I know they are headquartered in CA somewhere, but they do have a location here in So Fla. See the attached pics of the two front seats.

Let me know what you all think.

Second question, My Cat needs replacement, the right side Cat, dealer price is crazy $1300, I have found a Bosal direct bolt on for a lot less, has anyone had to replace their cat, and what are your recommendations. I am not going to boost the car or anything, it will stay stock for the most part, anything I do will be cosmetic like rims and some lips.

Remove the cat and replace with a straight pipe since there is no emissions testing in FL.

Aye, those seats look really good. Just repair the few cuts that you have. THere's a DIY somewhere, just search and you'll find it. GL.

I could use the dough for some rims too.

The cheapest way would be to pull the cat off and hollow it out with an air chissle then bolt it back on.

That's a good cheaper option. Make sure you don't breathe in the stuff that comes out unless you want the black lung.
