6LE is Quality stuff with great options to REALLY customize your seats(all or just fronts).

If you are just looking for a fix for one seat, then a local upholstery place 'd be great.

Yep, I used my stock rails on the seats.
I bought my seats from ebay in summer 2009.
They are still the same as day i got them,even after 2.5 years in my dd.
