How A Ferrari's Leather Car Seat Is Professionally Restored | Refurbished

it would’ve looked way better if you could somehow keep the red stitching red

[ScarsOfAFracturedSou]

I wonder how much harder and more expensive it would be to maintain the red stitching in the seat. The raised Ferarri emblem on the headrest also looks a little blown out.

Thank you all for watching our feature!
To those commenting about the red stitching; there was no possible way to retain the red stitch due to the condition of leather surrounding it, in addition, the stitching was faded to white in many places. It only made sense to dye the stitching black. We refreshed both seats in the vehicle so the seats match each other perfectly and uniform. Thank you again, it was a pleasure partnering up with Insider to put this together.

I thought this was a cheap, tacky fix considering the red stitching was sprayed over. But if you look at the key in shot, it has a no smoking sign on it. I'm assuming this is a rental and the client wanted the car fixed as cheaply as possible. In that case it looks pretty good and no hate to the craftsman.

I hate that he got rid of the red stitching but overall good job

[somebody]

The only way keep the red stitches red hand painting around those stitches and I don't think he got paid enough to do that.

[numo]

I like how everyone is complaining about the stitching 😂

[cal-native]

Wow, didn't realize there was such a large community of expert leather restorers out there😂!

[KLondike]

I thought that was a thin spot in the headrest. I didn't recognize the logo at first.

[yodaddydaddy]

Funny how you can pay 200k for a car and it still ends up looking like a 80s Honda.

[psych]

they restored it how a body shop would fix a rust hole

[racerman]

My man's forgot the red stitching, that's like a key component

[DashDrones]

So nice to see someone actually enjoyed this Ferrari, that seat's seen some action!

[YourMom-vlsp]

Hard to keep the red stitching without restitching the entire seat. Overall, a great option to make your seats look new again

[babagandu]

Remove battery cable before removing the seat

[thegoldenpath]

I'd be pretty furious about the stitching

[ossef]

The repair was fantastic.

The cost to replace the stitching would be outrageous. He is doing exactly what the client asked for. This type of craftsmanship is an art. Most people don’t even know to unclog a toilet. For all the naysayers….get bent

[tailoredperformanceinc.]

When he is referring to “owner” he’s referring to the used car dealer that just paid $200 for this job and together they are going to be jamming the poor bastard that buys this lemon. Any “owner” of a Ferrari won’t let the seat get to that point in which case if it does, it’ll be immediately replaced.

I would hate to see the lack of maintenence on the drive train.
They could have maintained the leather on their own.

[mateosinani]

Did he use it like a daily. My dad's E class 1991 has it's seats a bit better. Damn
