The phone number is on that page. That's what they told me.

Fabric was something like 5k

Rest assured that if I do anything nearly that major, I'll be posting about it here. Time is a major factor right now.

I know that heated seats were at least an option on 205 Limiteds. But, all limiteds came with leather. (Another reason I bought an XLT)

Check for seats out of a 2000 Ex, my cousins 2k Ex has THE softest, most comfy, bigger seats, and they are leather. My 02 Limited seats are getting broke in, but it has 90k on it!
His were superb from day one,,,,,,, maybe find some in a yard and have them redone

Reply to all three..

Beeble, thanks a lot

Matt, I didn't really want or needed the leather but they told me better second hand value and being that I have dogs, I figure they'd hold up better.

I knew they were harder but I did plan on fixing it somehow..

Pickupman. I'll be looking for some. If you see any that will fit right in, feel free to let me know. I ONLY need the drivers seat and as far as covering it, I have already bought SEAT covers so I don't care about that

As soon as I get my covers AND the Twistep, I'll show pictures and review.

Thanks guys

George

Wow, I guessed expensive, but thats crazy! I'd rather sit on a pillow and put the money towards something else...

But on a side note, I saw my first '08 SD today! King Ranch - it looked nice!

um, did you ever hear of leap year. you do know that feb usually has 28 days in it. and if someone was born on a leap year/feb 29, wheat, does that mean that they only have a birthday every 4 years? wow, there really are some slow people here. and even then its only a 1 day difference. in case you dont know, march comes after feb. so the next day after feb 29, would be march 1. its not a 28 day difference. and you dont know your wifes birthday???? shame on you. better not let her see this then. my wife would kill me if i forgot hers.
