The other pieces for the seats are around 800.00 each (3) ~ 2400.00 and 1900.00 looking like $4,300.00 just a couple hundred each for the thigh support. Then throw in the door panel this was 1100.00 without the arm rest and wood trim. The estimate was clearly low balled but its ok, because they just have to pay later to get it back the way it's supposed to be...
Have you checked eBay? I have seen entire seats and door there from time to time.

Well insurance is paying for this so it will need to be new.

I tried Leather Master. It definitely makes the seats look like new, but the leather doesn't really get much softer.

Please keep us updated on your findings with Leatherique and Leather Honey.
