Carl,

It has been several years, but I had a good shop repair the 
seat cusion and just the "wings" on the seatback of my 
cloth/leather 89.  Cost at the time was $250 if I remember 
right, for leather and labor.  Now that included taking 
apart the stock seats and re-stitching.  Just replacing the 
covers would be less time consuming.

I think the under $600 price for a new interior is a 
bargain...that was front AND rear seats...right?

I would expect a good shop to charge $200 to $400 to install 
them, but that is just a guess.
