Default Seat Covers

It's just a matter of time. I'm gonna need to replace the front seat covers in my car. 1999 Trans Am with the grey leather seats.

Any ideas where to look/ask for them?

Thanks....

I like my leather seats. I'm aware that I can find aftermarket seat covers but they won't be anywhere near the originals. I'm looking to replace the covers with the same or similar.

you can find a trim shop that will take your seat covers off, replace any worn panels with leather or vinyl (your choice) and put the seat cover back on for a decent price..

Of couse leather can be repaired by a craftsman that does custom work, but I think the OP is looking for a supplier that has exact copy OE style replacement covers.

Anyone know?

I was hoping somebody could send me in the right direction to find a set of original GM seat covers. Their numbers are dead in the usual GM parts places.

I suppose when the time comes, I'll find a interior restoration shop and hope they can re-do them reasonably.

Thanks for the help guys.
