Leather seat replacement

A friend picked up a 96 Z and has decided to give me the complete black leather interior for free. Unfortunately, the bolsters on both front seats are wasted. Back seats, plastics, and door panels are fine. Does anyone know of a source for OEM or OEM-spec seat covers that will sell fronts only? I really only need the fronts, so buying a complete set from leatherseats.com or Katzkin is not my preferred option. If not, can someone recommend a good upholstery shop near Cleveland, OH that can r&r the outer bolsters?

Thumbs up

Thank you, brianswimmer23. If I can buy material that is an exact match, I can probably have the bolsters taken out and restitched by a competent shop. Certainly a better alternative than $600-1000 for a whole new set!

Black should be an easy match. I had the left bolster in the '95 (tan/neutral) repaired last summer. The match was quite good, and looks nice. Cost me $75 as I recall.

I hadn't thought of leatherseats.com only selling front and rear. for some reason I assumed the ~$600 price was for two front seats which is all I need. It doesn't seem to specify on their site.

blackbirdta- The $600 price is for all 4 seats. I figured this out when I saw one of their ebay listings. And actually, that isn't too bad. I've seen prices north of $1000 elsewhere.

mudbone- I should have been more specific about the color. It's actually graphite, but I still agree that the match should be great.
