Since they are not the "CAMARO" printed seats or anything special ... I'd keep my eye out for 4th gen seats in good shape and swap. I did that in mine, nice seats, and driver side is electric 6-way!

Re: how bad is this damage and how much do you think it will cost?
you can get a decent shop to repair that for less than $200. as long as they can match the material for cheap. but like n00b said, you can get way better (more comfy), non ripped, 4th gen seats for half that.

Re: how bad is this damage and how much do you think it will cost?
I had the same issue. I ordered fabric from SMS and then paid $100 to an upholstry shop to repair the seat. So my total cost was approx $200 but I have alot of extra fabric for my next repair (should it arise).
This is what I started with.

It looks brand new now

Its more thick and heavy...perfect replacement. I had that work done 2 years ago and so far it still looks like new.
