Welcome! You can easily do the black on your seats on your own. I just finished repairing and readying mine. The passenger seat had a cigarette burn in it when I bought the car. Order the dye kit from LeatherWorld technologies. The stuff is amazing, my seats look new. One of the members a
Had posted pictures of his red seats, I was sceptical but figured I'd give it a shot before spending $1000 on new leathers. Take a look.....

My seat has about a 2-3 inch tear on the driver's side back rest near the door. Any ideas as to how to repair that?

Check out the LeatherWorld website. I think as long as it's a pretty clean tear it may be fixable. It's worth the $90 to try it. I'd then dye the entire seat, it helps blend it in. They use a backing with a flexible glue, worked perfect on a small, 3/8" cigarette burn.
