Replacement seats

[gloch]

I just picked up a project - a '96 Limited. Among the few things it needs, would be the drivers seat. It is a mess. I read a thread here where someone replaced the bottom cover with an Ebay piece but, I am thinking I may want to go away from leather altogether. Are there any alternatives to stock seating?

I have this issue myself, along with a million others, it seems, who have factory leather. There's a guy who swapped his front seats from an Acura RSX. I believe it was on YotaTech. Looks pretty sweet, but looks like a PITA. I'm waiting for some free time to go to a local junkyard to pull factor cloth seats. Hopefully, ones from a Sport edition...thought I'm not sure if the rails fit a '96.

That is what I am hoping to learn. I want to find some cloth options and wasn't sure which years would match rails.

I may have to do that but, I think I just want to go cloth if I can find something in good shape and compatible.

New cover and foam is under 300 from toyota part sales.com This is the route to go if you want factory look and fit.

What's the part number? toyotapartsales.com doesnt work for me...

EDIT:

I missed the part about the limited. The leather seat bottom is 500 dollars. Your best bet in this case is probably the Ebay seat cover plus a new OEM foam - Part # 71511-35050 - $127.63 at toyotapartszone.
