Default C5 seat options - recover, replace

I've been looking a few C5's with 60K-100K miles and the drivers seats look pretty beat. I've read where the seat foam breaks down easily and obviously the bolsters get a lot of abuse.

So, does anyone know if new foam is available? Maybe a new katskin leather replacement job is the way to go. Lastly, maybe a newer set of C6 seats could be purchased. The last thing I want to do is spend $1000-$1500 on a couple of front seats. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

My c5 has custom factory seats(skins), new cushion. Custom, not cheap.


Smoogle search.

Heres a few pics of my interior, just to give you an idea of available upgrades.
