Replacing/Rewrapping cloth interior
I just picked up a 05 WRX and there are small cigarette burns in the rear seat, butt portion, does anyone know if I can get them rewrapped in the factory cloth and if I can buy it from the dealer or if I have to go to an upholstry place and have them try to match it? TIA

You might try calling at local wrecking or salvage yards for the rear seat cushion. Every so often I see members parting out their totaled cars and the rear seats aren't in great demand.

Thanks, yea, I've been looking around but most ppl even if willing to part the rear from front aren't willing to part top vs. bottom so it's gonna be hard. I'll look around salvage yards too, thanks.

If there is a local upholestry/resoration business by your hometown you should consider it. They will be able to color match your seats and fill them in with whatver they use and should cost no more than $50. I have used places like this in the past for small blemishes and imperfections in my cars' interiors.
DUDE....I have stock 05 WRX black seat covers and will sell ALL 4 only (front 2 and 2 rear bench-top and bottom). Best of all...they only have about 200 miles on them, if not less. I swapped for leather interior the day I brought the car home from the dealership. I'm in NYC, let me know. I'm looking for $200 FIRM. They are in MINT CONDITION.
ALSO>....I can help you reupholster it for like $50 more or whatever and some beer lol. It's about 2 hours roughly for the rear seats. I did my own leather swap in about 8 hours for the whole car.
