[QUOTE="SpittingCobra, post: 15798570, member: 62737"] Your best option is to purchase the seat you want then and take it to a competent automotive upholster locally. What you want to do is see their sample materials and bring your car, go around the interior with the sample to see how it looks compared to each area (all are slightly different shades of "saddle" the plastic console, the dash which is painted, the leather, the vinyl on the back of the seat, the vinyl on the door, the carpet). Especially after 20 years everything fades at a different rate. I sent the seat restoration guy in poland that refurbished these a small piece of vinyl cut from under the seat and I also cut the top off of a saddle colored push pin from the kick panel that has seen basically no UV. Anyways just FYI to do this locally I was quoted about $1000.00 per seat to recover the seats and do any reasonable foam repairs. Beware of low ball prices and make sure you see the sample material, the cheap leather out there with the fake heavy grain and tons of plastic sealants on it will really ruin the look of a seat like this and won't match your interior well.
