Default 79 seat backs

Has anybody put anything different than carpet on the back of their seats? I need to replace my seat back carpets and was wondering if anybody tried something different. If you went with carpet, has anybody tried to have the edges "bound"?

I have seen leather and suede installed on the seat backs. I also seen a nice map pocket on the back of the pass seat were it could be folded forwared and items could be put in or taken out easily by the driver.

Its an easy spot to mod. Panels can be made to fit out of a hard thin sheet material (ABS or wood) with screw incerts to install from the inside of the seat back. Then the panels can be covered any way you like and the screws will be blind.
