Default Factory Leather Seat Covers...?

Anyone know if I can still order a seat cover (driver) replacement for my '99 T/A?

I know the Grey leather went out in '00 but I am wondering if I can still order it as a replacement part.

If anyone has done this did your driver seat match the passenger?

TIA,
-Nick

Yes you can. They come in separates, top and bottom. The color should match perfectly, just will not be worn at all so you might notice a slight difference there. The catch is, dealer list is somewhere around 350 a piece, so the leather to recover one seat would be 700 bucks. I would hit some junk yards and try to find a replacement from the same year car, or even buy a complete set off eBay, it would still be cheaper.

Here ya go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33701

Better than paying $700 for one seat COVER. Use one or both of the seats, and sell what you have left on ebay again and recover some of the money you spent.

Thanks guys,
I did find a set of replacements from here: http://www.parts123.com/PartFrame.as...sic_Industries

They say that they are factory replacements, but they also say that they are Vynl. Were our seats that vynl leather-look-alike?

The seating surfaces are leather. The rest is vinyl. The textured inserts in the seats are leather seating surfaces. I think GM calls it Sierra leather. Sounds like French for 'el cheapo.

Doing well man, doing well. How are you?

Work had taken over my life until about a month ago, I have started a new job that is much, much better. Still dont have as much time as I used to to talk to my buds on the forums, but I still check in from time to time.
