Repairing or changing RSX Type S front leather seats...

Hi, I have a 2002 RSX Type S and the front seats have some very minor rips on them which annoy me because I am a perfectionist. Is there a cheap way to get the rips fixed, or should I be looking for replacement seats? Also, if I have to change the seats, is it a relatively easy thing to do? I am worried the seat heater and the Airbag is hard to hook up? What should I be looking for when buying replacement seats? I noticed that some come with rails and some dont... I obviously cannot afford to buy them new, so I have to look for good condition used ones.

I've been curious about this too. When I bought my car the seats were separating where the stitching is at the top...And we don;t have the heated ones in the states...

I was going to say that you could just buy new oem covers for the seats but holy s! those things are expensive.

For the upper portion its $825 and for the bottom $743. Thats for new oem skins.

I bet Katzkins could do your whole interior for less than 1k. I have heard that their covers are decent.
