How expensive is it going to be to have the driver seat back replaced?

[AutoRocket]

I was lugging around a heavy item in my car and it scratched the back of the seat. Is that piece expensive to swap out? The entire point of it is to protect the seat so I guess it did its job.

I'd expect it to cost more than it's worth. Try some Mother's Back to Black. It will help hide the scratches.

Hah! I had a very similar issue arise just today. Let me find that stuff!

Yeah, I'd try regular black shoe polish, or something like that, for a simple solution. But I was looking at seats, for another reason, and they run around $400. Not sure what Tesla charges for theirs.

For either of the above solutions, I'd note that the seat backs aren't really black, but rather gray. Would either of these options cause an obvious color change on the scratch? (I don't expect it to be perfect or invisible, just LESS visible.)

Take it to an auto upholstery shop… they can repair it.

those are carbon fiber though. the plastic OEM replacements gotta be like $100. I don’t like non OEM components even when they look cool. Like I’d love some of the hannshow stuff but I want it to be from factory
