newbie needs seats

Hey all,
Is there somewhere I can find new seats front and rear for my 87 bird besides on the classified section?? It seems like you have to be lucky and be the first one to nab em'. I live in NJ if that helps.. And how much should I expect to pay so I don't get hosed..(I mean if I buy them somewhere else, not from you guys!!) Also I need to replace the top dash pad, is that a pain in the rear to do?? I know I cab find one of those easily...
thanx much,,

And no V6 bustin my chops, I know its slow, I just wanted a bird to drive around..And I didn't have a couple of grand to buy a decent TPI formula, not yet anyway..

Junk yard, ebay, hawks, etc.

You could also buy replacement covers for your current seats.

Hawks seat covers arent like autozone style.

For $300 or so you can get practically factory seat covers. But theyre not just "covers", youll actually disassemble your seats, pull the fabric off, and replace your factory fabric with the covers from hawks.

Helluva lot cheaper than $800

You can also buy brand new aftermarket seats for well under $600 if you shop around. PM me and I can give you more info.
