Default 88'Seat replacement

Hi everyone
I have top replace the seat foams and covers in the off season this year and would like to change color. My 88 has a saddle brown interior and i thought about changing it to black.I would eventually like to do a complete restore on the interior and would like to start with the seats.How hard is it going to be to locate all of the trim pieces.The saddle brown just dosent do it for me since the car is a beautiful red.
Any ideas?

I saw his seats at Carlisle where he had a vendor's table, they are good quality.
I priced seats for my '88, and the price are all about the same no matter where you buy.

Purchase the vinyl dye and paint yourself. That's what GM did- painted the trim.
