I have a set of seat covers from Hawks. They do not include the foam. They are a real cover not a slip on. You will have to remove the factory cover to install the new one.

For leather try Mr. Mikes.

Wow, those look really sharp, but at that price, I think I'll just stick with Getting Corbeau Targas, at least my seats will be new, lighter, and have more supports.

gasp., ya... expensive...

i was thinking of getting some APC seats... cuz the Corbeau's are too expensive, so are all the others i've seen out there...

but one thing... if i get diff seats for the front... the back seats aren't gonna match.. what i do then? just get kits for the back? i still doubt the color would match too well... :-/... what would you all do?

i'd lvoe to have leather, but all the new kind of seats, leather versions, are VERY VERY expensive... does someone know where i can get front seats, leather...? and the backs... welll, i'll jus thave to get a kit for them, i guess from mikes.. or something... :-/ though.. i do like that firebird emblem... hmm..

I assume you guys have never shopped for leather seat covers before. Mr. Mikes are EXTREMELY inexpensive compared to almost anybody else in the free world.

Yes considering that the seats are leather they are inexpensive compared to other aftermarket companies. I just don't like leather in my car when it gets hot. Cloth is just fine for me. I was merely saying I would rather have the cloth Corbeaus over the leather seat covers, but I would rather have the leather seat covers over leather corbeaus.
