New front seats- what should I get since leather burns my butt?

I have a black interior with t-tops, my leather seats get scorchingly hot. The seats are vinylish (I was told leather but I doubt it) from what I believe was a mid 80s camaro. I love the look but the seats are so freakin hot! I have leather rears so I need some form of leather mixed in with the seat but maybe cloth right along the bottom and back? I don't know, I'm just hoping people can show pics of nice looking black seats in their bird/maro. I replaced everything that bothered me about the car so far- except the seats. My seats are also heated which isn't necessary since I NEVER drive it in the winter.

black cloth wont burn you, but it wont be "cool" either, avoid sun ;0

Get some cloth seats out of a 4th gen firebird. I scored mine for $45 a piece from the u-pull-it.

My rears are leather though and the look great. I hate the look of black cloth seats. My brother has a Scion TC and I love the stretchy mesh feeling- looks a bit cleaner than cloth too. I want sort of a hybrid so with leather/vinyl on it so it matches the rears.
