Default Cracked leather seats- suggestions?

Hey guys. I drive an 03 Z and lately been noticing that my natural wear and tear is no longer acceptable lol.

I have the leather heated seats and they are cracked in a few places and now even a bit tore. What's the cheapest solutionfor me?

I'd rather not pay very much. Can I get decent covers? Releather?

get them re-upholstered, or patched. Got the leather seats in my truck re-upholstered and the whole bottom of the seat cost ~100$

these are the nicest seat covers I've seen. Always wanted them for my current car, but have debated getting them for a z if I got one with cloth seats. Not sure how good the quality is, but it appears decent to me. If yoyu order please share

A closer look points to a cheap product.

The majority of the workers that made your car don't speak any English at all.

An upholsterer by me told me it would probably be around 600, for both seats, and suede inserts in the middle. He also mentioned that he orders a kit specifically for our seats and just takes the old leather off, and puts the new **** on.

Fairly poor fit on the z in the ebay auction. Uneven seams and loose "leather" is clearly evident.

Sorry, not my choice.

New seats seem to be an easy choice but surely expensive. I guess I'll look around to see if I can find a reputable socal source to reupholster. If you guys have any socal recommendation that would be great.

Any one else hav personal experience with seat cvers? Do they look tacky?
