Yeah, they don't make parts for seats that are more than 7 years old, unfortunately. If they did, I would probably have kept them.

I talked to 3 shops to repair/recover them, the one is a Euro/exotic specialty shop, and all said they can only do 'so well' with the bolster foams, they would never be like new. Luckily, the foams are not a problem. The 2 center ones they said they can easily make if need be.

I had them apart and went over all the parts, the only thing I would have changed were the covers, to black. Due to the type of material, even the shops said not to dye them, that it would over time just rub off, so I bailed on the idea.

The center covers are loose due to several plastic retaining clips were broken. I included 2 sets of new clips with the seats, and those are available still.

Yeah, it's just the pics are poor and the angle, if you would see them in person you would see the bolsters are not big. They fit perfectly in a 2nd gen f-body and look right at home. Would really like to have used them but just wasn't in the cards. They are super comfortable, and have tons of adjustment. Just a shame.
