i'm having the same issues in my 97. Its just 10 yrs. old and starting to show it. I have seen some seats on ebay for $500-$750 for just the skins. Entire seats with frames $1000 and then custom covers +$1000. There are some customs on there now they might match your car. I'm thinking of asking a local shop to quote custom skins and/or doing my own.

That is a common problem on the 97 to 99 cars. The seams tearing and/or excessive wear on the bolster are common. In 2000 they changed the bolster from leather to a pleather/vinyl material.
A good upolstery shop should be able to sew that back up. Another alternative would be to have the panel replaced if the rest of the seat is in good condition.
