Passenger side: perfect

Drivers side: destroyed... like Springs poking through the bottom and it badly sagging when you sit in it destroyed.

I’m thinking about just swapping sides and hoping that works for another 36 years.

Something about leather seats in Japanese vehicles. In 4th gen Preludes that had leather (94-96 VTEC and 95 SE) the front seats are always either trashed or have been swapped out for cloth. Rears are usually immaculate because you can’t fit an adult back there.

If you didn’t gas so hard, you wouldn’t be blowing chunks out of your seats.

Seat covers? My dad got me some for my Ranger, since the vinyl is cracked on the driver’s seat and the armrest.

Take it to a leather repair place (check shoe repair places, most of them will do general leather repair)? Should be able to replace the damaged panels with something that matches, and maybe stick some new foam under the fabric part.

Heck, it couldn’t cost that much to fix that seat. It’s not like Beige vinyl was rare in the 70s and 80s.

SHEEP SKIN IS NOT UGLY

Sheep skin when well cared for and nicely trimmed can look classy as f in my opinion. I am thinking of getting a set for my front seats to act as a buffer between my butt and the hot leather interior. For my own little touch maybe rams horns for the headrests. If I plan on continuing to eat sheep and cows i might as well make use of the other bits what arent tasty.

I’m not sure but I dont think this is leather... Just seems like good old Toyota vinyl.

Was it like that when you bought it?

Yes

May be the case, but I’d guess they could still source something that would go in there.

I'd hate to see your pants if that's what the seat looks like

I know that feel. Passenger side, perfect, maybe a little sun fade, driver side, completely trashed. It’s the same for the couple of cars I’ve found in the junk yard as well.

I’ve done the swapping sides thing more than once and with success. Serviceable passenger seats are usually readily available. The cushions are typically symmetrical. Requires swapping the cushions on the seat frames. Can be done on the older cars.
