Got a small cigarette burn, how to fix?

I just realize after sitting to the back seat that I have a really small cigarette burn on the bottom portion of the seat. It's is on the grey portion of the seat. It's about 2 millimeters wide. I have cloth seats and it's beginning to be an eyesore. Any suggestions how I can fix it? Appox how much would it cost if I go to a shop to fix it? Thanks

I'm going to have to disagree...
My "other" car (Toyota 4x4) was purchased "used" and had some burns on the seats and carpet (could have been from left handed cigs?!?).
I replaced the carpet (JC Whitney "cheapies") and had a a Detail Shop fix the burns for $60 (about $10 a burn).
The way I understand the procedure is they take fiber's from underneath the seat and use some sort of glue to fix the damaged area's.
No one can tell its been damaged (well, except for me)...

hehe almost said the same thing.

On the carpet you could carefully take fibers from one spot and transplant them to another. Would take a lot of time though. on the seats would be more tricky. Your best bet would be an upholstery place I would think, or seat covers.
