Can I get a pice check at register 2?



BTW, I just dropped off my interior for repair.  They use a cheesecloth and
re-dye the leather...it supposedly comes out looking like new.  My guy will
also patch the small hole on my driver's side bolster.  This work is not too
difficult or expensive and if the seats are tear-free and only show the
standard wrinkles and fading of old leather, you can end up with really nice
looking seats for a reasonable price.

It might be a good idea to call around and get a price on dying the leather
so you know what it'll cost to get the seats looking like new.  I have to
assume they'll need it, even if they're "mint."  Should be around $100-$200,
no more, I would guess.
