Default Is leather my only choice?

Heres the deal, my leather seats are in pretty poor condition and I am looking to get theem replaced. I really do not like leather, so I am looking for another option. I wouldn't mind even having racing seats in there because I think they look OK and dont make my back sweat in the summer. Can I put racing seats into my 92 and still be able to use the power seat options? Also can I get cloth seats out of an F-body or another GM car? If I cant do any of those things I guess I will just get them recovered and throw on some wet okole seat covers.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks

Why not just put the okole covers over the current bad leather? Thats what I did. They fit like a glove and get lots of compliments.

My .02 worth

Any GOOD upholstery shop should be able to stitch up cloth covers if that is what you want. Also, I am not sure if 84-89 seats will work in your car, but they would be much easier to cover, and they did come in fabric, than your seats.
