Seats I've got graphite cloth manual seats now, and I want to switch to ebony leather power seats. How would I go about doing that? Or should I just go with some manual leather seats? I've been looking around and I can't seem to find any that aren't power though.

They will bolt right in, but the wiring harness for the power hook up on the seats will probably not be there in the floor.
I did the swap on my old 94TA and the hook up wastn't there. I was told by a guy at a 4th gen camaro/firebird salvage yard (where I got the seats) that I could get the harness for them and run it under the carpet pretty easily.
I never got around to doing that before I sold them though. The power portion only inflates the lumbar and other support areas so I wasn't too worried about it.
If you want the contact information for "the guy at the place" I can PM it to you (they aren't a sponsor).

couple of answers for you. the easiest, probably the cheapest way is to keep looking on here, ebay, other forums, etc for a set for sale. A nice pair of ebony seat will go for 500-800. Another otion for you is to buy OE seat covers from GMpartsdirect, dealership, etc. here are the part numbers for the covers. You will probably need some new hog rings.
FRT LH & RH ebony seat back cover(leather): #16837696
FRT LH & RH ebony seat cushion cover(leather): #16837698
Rear LH & RH ebony seat cushion cover(leather): #16840531
Rear ebony seat back cover(leather): #16840538
The other option is to buy some aftermarket covers from somewhere likes Hawks third gen parts. this will allow for a little customization and also come in a little cheaper than buying OE replacements, but they wont look exactly the same as OE. I can personally vouch for these, they are great quality and look outstanding.
