leatherseats.com has new leather upholstery that you can buy, but it's not cheap. I don't know anything about reupholstering -- you'd have to talk to some interior specialty shop I imagine.

It's worth doing and is not terribly hard to do. Just spend the money up front on quality leather and in the color you want so you don't have to do it multiple times! i believe katskins and leatherseats are probably the best to go with!

My leathers are reupholstered and they are great, have held up for about 2 years now and no cracks. Look very close to OEM color is a little off.

I put new 2008 cloths in place of my 2003 leathers.

They were flawless and all told I spent $200.
