It's been posted here that the individual pieces of leather are available from Acura and can be replaced by a good upholstery repair shop.

Well, actually, i was thinking that it is a 11 years old leather.. and if i were to replace only one piece, you might see one new and one old next to each other... may not look very good..

i would think replace the entire leather might be better? no?

New Used seats

I found that buying a set of used seats out of a newer car cost the same as replacing the leather. The other thing is the padding and cusions are newer as well. If you replace the leather over old, worn cusions; the leather could wear quickly or look loose.

Expect to pay $800 - $2000 for a really good set. Most pairs sell for about $1000.
 
Dr. Vinyl, highly recommended here, will do both seats in leather for $800. That sounds like a pretty good deal.
 
Many upholstery shops can either re-dye and recon the leather for you or refer you to someone who does this work. There is also a color match spray on dye that does the job and looks good. Shouldnt cost you more than $100 to have the side bolsters done this way.
