Default Didnt mean to hurt the monte.. really!!

Well as you all might know i am military, along with all of my friends.. Well this weekend we were all joking around and talking about our "zombie plans". (if u dont have one i am truly sorry) and the discussion of a car with a moon roof being used as a turret aka "ghetto turret" and well we decided to test this idea and well the result wasnt good. So with my friend being the groups designated "wheelman" and me the gunner we drove my 01 SS down this deserted paved road down his land and decided to G3 some stuff. Well all of you who dont know what a G3 is it is a .308 caliber H&K rifle. So one of the expended casing went down the moon roof and into the seat burning a hoel in it. Now i have to fix a burn hole about an inch wide in my NEW LEATHER SEATS!!! i need help on some possible solutions Thanks

That's a lot better what I thought you were going to say.
I thought you were going to say your SS was the target.

I'd try a local upholstery shop.

You have to consider these things when you do something like that!

Lol, or you can just sew up the edges and use it as a conversation piece for whenever you might pick up some girl and she asks why there's a hole in your seat.

Back in june I had the driver's seat of the '03 Monte Pace car repaired. The PO had used the side bolster of the seat as a shoe horn. Leather, vinyl, plastic, or what-have-you the seat could only take so much of this. So it was getting pretty thead bare by the time we got the car.

A local upholstery shop repaired the seat for me for $125. He removed the seat from the car and reinstalled it for me. He also replaced the panel above along with the thread bare one when he only priced the job to me as replacing one panel. Not two.

It looks great.
