Panels that are worn can be replaced by a local trim shop for less than what is quoted in the e-bay add. Pick up a yellow pages phone book and give a few a call to see what they charge.

I replaced a cut panel and the worn front for $95 on my F150 last fall.

I am considering ordering some Coverking tailored seat covers for another vehicle I own. They have a number of materials one can order and I believe they advertise it taking about 5 weeks from order to delivery. I am probably going to use the leatherette material.

The website is: www.coverking.com

The most reasonable place to order coverking or other parts (in my opinion) is: www.ajusa.com

Hope this helps. If anyone has installed coverking seat covers, please post your thoughts on them... or any others. Thanks.
