On both seats, on the top of the headrest on both the front and back of the seats, it looks like someone poured a little acid on the leather or something because it's also as hard as cardboard and has a distinct line where the fluid stopped.

[Now before any of you leatherique fanatics start telling me all this can be eliminated, don't bother posting it... I paid $80 for leatherique products (the whole line up) and treated the seats thoroughly and it did nothing to soften the leather]

Both seats need recovering. Period. I'm just trying to figure out how much I should save up to do this and how much any of you paid to have a seat recovered and what you chose... good synthetic or real leather.

BTW, rims are also on the list!
