Default Any good places to get seat cover to replace factory?

My uncle got into my car today with a screwdriver in his back pocket and poked two holes into the bottom of my seat. With the age of the seats it's only a matter of time before the holes open up. They are quarter sized holes. I'm pissed. Who sells just the two front seat covers to replace the factory covers? I'm located in Louisiana and if anyone knows of a person in the Dallas area that can do it at a great price that would be great too. Nothing over $400 though.

Classic Industries and Year One sell full sets for all the seats, but it will run you over $400. The catch is that you'll never be able to perfectly match the materials, so you'll commonly only find full seat sets for sale. (front and back)

Depending on the year of the car and the interior color, used seats in good condition can be found. Especially ebony cloth which tends to be very durable. Good quality T/A seats with the inflatable bolsters are harder to come by.

You think they would only sell me the front? My rear still looks like new

There's a seller on ebay, selling just the front seat cover. He says he can match any year GM color.

Then what would they do with the extra rear cover? (Nobody "needs" them. The only reason to replace them is usually just to get the perfect material match.)

We have sponsors on this site who sell replacement seats and we've already mentioned the stand-by's for restoration parts.

Many local businesses around large metroplexes will offer services to "match" OEM finishes, so we won't advertise these non-sponsors over another unless someone has facts that a certain business has an inside track to the original materials used in our cars. (From other threads by current and past sponsors who make these types of goods, I understand the original fabrics are no longer available.)

I got my passenger seat bottom cover from the Ebay seller and it looks like the factory leather except softer.
