    Hello, I am trying to find new seat skins to replace the worn out leather from raising twins in the car since they were 3! I tried my best to keep the leather nice, but to little avail. Even google is of little help! my interior is medium grey leather with heated front seats and of course the driver seat is power. Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm curious to see what options other members throw in. I was only aware of Katzkin for aftermaket factory fit leather, but it doesn't look like they have any for our cars. I googled "factory leather seat covers" and got leatherseats.com as one of the top results. http://www.leatherseats.com/shop/lea...PRIX&year=2004

    Have you checked the dealer to see if any are still available? Even when parts are discontinued they can get on the locator and see if any dealership in the country has any left in stock. And can purchase them and get them shipped to them.

    I'm looking for some as well for my 04 grand prix. Leatherseats.com looks like best option right now. When i called they asked for pictures because covers were for cloth to leather conversion. Not leather replacement. Have yet to hear back.

    Ok cool I have sent them an email already. Some of the shops around here want over a grand just for the seats because they would have to make them from scratch. As far as I know dealers might have a few mis-matched pieces in new old stock but I would bet that supply had dried up years ago.

    04-08 seats were all the same design if they were cloth or leather, but only the leather seats had heat as far as I know.

    I think I will have to work some serious overtime!

    It is right around $750 for a set. Still far cheaper than what they wanted locally!

    No. 04-05 is the same. The 06-08 years got upgraded leather and cloth seats. If you do replace the seats, aim for the 06-08 years

    use car-part.com and try to locate some used seats in great/good condition. The pull-a-part near me charges $50 per seat

    You may be surprised at what can still be had from the dealers. Like I said they can check for stock at any dealer in the country. May have to get pieces from several different dealers to get a set, but would only be one stop for you as the local dealer would have them shipped to them. And sometimes with discontinued items they'll do a better price just to get them off their shelf. I would check anyway.

    Try contacting Ed Morad or hit up your local salvage yard.
