was it a local salvage yard or did you find it on the internet. ive also considered going this route? How much were they asking? was it for the full set?

it was a local one, and i found it though http://car-part.com/
you enter your zip code and what youre looking for and it brings up a bunch of local salvage yards with it or similar items. i found both front bucket seats and the KR leather console for 350, and they had the back bucket seats too but i didnt ask cause i have an extended cab. Its too bad it had that rip, or i would of bought them. im still looking for a replacement cover somewhere, if i could find one of them id go back and get the seats.

I'm in the same situation. I've got tan cloth seats in a 2010 that my employees and I are already getting dirty. Here's what I've come across so far:

Nice looking seat covers with a ton of different materials: www.coverking.com

Lower grade (or so it appears) seat covers: www.marathonseatcovers.com

These guys take your existing seats and cover with leather: www.classicsofttrim.com
I called classic soft trim to price out the leather on my truck (2010 screw) and they quoted me $1300 installed.

Hope this helps...

From what I have read and heard, Superhides are the only way to go. There are other threads on this site about the Marathon seat covers in particular.
