Question About Leather Seats and Console

The paint on my leather seats has come off in a few places due to the prior owner having his dogs in the truck all the time and the console lid has a crack in it. Does anyone know if the seats can be repainted in places and match well and where I can get another console top?
Thanks, Brandon

Go to a leather shop. Look in the yellow pages and there should be a few near you. Go there and let them have a looky.

You didn't mention what trim level you have. Assuming you have a Lariat trim level, you also have the option of replacement seat panels from the dealer. In my example, I replaced my driver seating surface because it began to look much more worn than all the other seats. It was about $150 installed for new leather bottom that matched perfectly. Yes, you can also get an new console lid--again, right from the dealer. If you want to spruce up a bit, and you have the lariat trim, order the Excursion Limited console lid of the same year model as your truck--the "wood" top will match your door inlays and look sharp.

Sorry Guys Yes I have the Lariat Package and I like the idea of the wood console top I will have to price that. Thanks. Also another question, What indicates that you need shocks other than strictly ride quality and what is the best bang for the buck on shocks for an F-250 that will be doing a moderate amount of towing. I would like to get some that have a lifetime warranty.
