Center Console Leather Tear Fix

[NovaSayan]

Managed to put a center console in my base for cheap. Only issue with it is that there are two punctures in the hard leather. Probably not many options to repair it, but any recommendations to hide it? If the seat gets lifted up to a certain point it does hide it, but I have a pretty specific seating position so I’d rather just keep the holes shown at that point

The center console is not real leather. Take it to an automotive upholstery shop that does restorations. They will be able to repair the vinyl. It won't look perfect but it won't be that noticeable. You don't want to hear what the replacement cost is for that part.

+1 for the upholstery shop, you always add striping in the area that blends in with the interior

Or go a little more expensive/DIY pro route with excellent results:

Good idea! How much would most shops charge for something like this?

Hmmm...do we see a CF console in your future?

Black Sharpie and ignore it afterwards

Probably not lol, I really like more subtle designs for the interior so I like the leather with stitching better over all. I may add some carbon fiber trim in the future.
