Default Blackouts and leather help

Im starting to clean up my new car- '97 z28. I am having trouble finding black covers for headlights, and black covers/replacements for the orange sidemarkers. Any links?
Also, there is a small tear in the leather on one side of drivers seat around the seam....is there a repair kit thats good on the market? Or, how much would a shop charge to fix it? thanks for any help.

I used one of those leather repair kits from an auto parts store. I repaired a cigarette burn, two rips and a worn bolster. The seats/rips & burns have all held up. Even with the kids sitting back there with their backpacks on and shoes on the seats. My fat *** has worn the bolster out again, and that needs to be touched up again.

But the kit works. They're like $10-20 IIRC.

Hey do you have their number? I heard that they were out of business and/or no longer a sponsor. I want to see if they can fab up a set of motor mount pedestals for me.

Oh and for the orange markers, you should be able to clean those up with some 600/1000/& 1500 grit sand paper like the guys are doing with the hazed headlights. Im going to try it myself.
