Replacement for leather seat covers?

Whats gooing on guys,

I own a G35 2007 sedan. The front seats on the sides, where you come in the vehical, are getting pretty messed up. They have not cracked but they are pretty wrinkly. Anybody have any sugjections on where I can get them replaced or any idea's on how to fix this (i thought you couldn't fix it tho). I am trying to get as close to OEM as possible. I tried to buy them from the dealership and they were going to make me buy both whole seat's. Thanks in advance guys.

just clean the leather with some good leather cleaner and conditioner from your local part store like lexol or something or you can get some better ones online. Wrinkles in leather are normal and cant be avoided, just keep up with the maintaince to keep it from getting dry and cracking

Who can you buy better ones online? I properly looking to replace the leather covers instead of trying to make them look better. I tried the conditioner a couple times and it still looks like crap.

you can upgrade to better leather if you can find a shop to do it.

I had Katzkin installed in my base 350z a few years ago and it looked great! Just have to find a local installer.

Last time I checked (7 years ago) it was $750 just to replace the LOWER seat cover alone with an OEM replacement.
