The front two are all that is still in the car...I'll let you know when I get them out, still haven't ordered light weight drag seats. Plus I think they are lighter in color than your. That looks like ebony to me.

He works for a dealership, but does it on the side. You could just buy new covers and have him install. I'll ask him next time I see him to see when he can get to them.
