Default Seat Questions

Okay guys. Here a few questions I have.
1. Im wanting to do a new color setup on my 93. I want red bolsters and a black center piece on my seats with the 40th anniversary emblem stitched in. Does anybody know where to get seat covers in this setup?
2. The leather on my seats is starting to crack. Should I just use a seat cover or replace the entire seat?

Any ideas, suggestions, or horror stories I need to be made aware of?

Although it doesnt have the emblem, I purchased a set from Iggees, as mine were in the same condition, and I love them!

I got the leather seat covers and new foam from Ecklers. I'm pretty sure you could order custom colors from them. I highly recomend that you do both the foam and the covers at the same time. You get a better price if you order the complete package.
The seats are no fun to put together. I made a tool to get the seats back in the shell. I did one top or back per evening and had it done in four days.

I have a set of Wet Okoles on order. You can mix up all the colors you want on their website. These are neoprene covers though. If you're wanting leather you'll have to look elsewhere. You also have a emblem choice. Not sure if the anniversary one is on there or not though. They run around $325.00 for a set now. Just depends on what you order. Takes a while to get them so if you're in a hurry forget it.
