Default Can these be fixed ???

1. Previous owner was a smoker and the "sigarette burns" on the inside door trim are very annoying, can one replace these these trim lines, not sure if they come off or not??

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

2. Seats are ripped are were repaired, didnt do very good job as you can see, was wondering if one could replace these leather sections (strips between stiches)?, anyone done that?

Default yes

I had a burn almost identical to the forth pic. A detail shop used some type of fabic filler and matched the color perfectly. It didnt feel natural but unless you looked very carefully you couldnt see it. The bad news is that it cost $120 for the one burn.

Default Ok that's an option, just not sure if it's worth $120!

gosh I can buy GT4 and the steering wheel for that money...lol!

fabric filler you say, can you remember the name of the shop, are they like a franchise?,

Otherwise I will look around Dayton, Indy area if I can find someone to do the same for me.

Smoking is bad. Think about all the innocent cars marred by that nasty habit!
