Are your ripped badly? I’ve got some 7/10 from the 1998 you can have
Driver's side is getting a smidge rough, might just need some new stitching, not sure I know how to do so with leather. The passenger's side isn't so bad.

I am very interested in skins for my 2000 C70 Convertible. What I have found is only on eBay because I have no salvage yard within over 100-150 miles and usually what is available is not in the best shape.I would love new leather close to factory in style and color as possible.
Would be nice if new convertible tops were available at a decent price with the rear defrost window installed for under $700,all the tops I found are $699 and up. I would love a decent bumper cover as well for my C70.

If I could get some high quality charcoal leather seat skins that work on my 2000 XC seats, I'm in.

Looks like the seat skins are closer than the bumper. My guess is that the seat skins are within 30 days. Not sure about the bumper.
