Headrest # 1 looks great! $95 versus $800 at dealer!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SC430...Q5fAccessories

Leather back seat bench looks virtually perfect (no one ever sits back there anyway, right???)...$395 vs $1800+ at dealer

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SC430...Q5fAccessories

Rear headrests again look pretty darn good...$95 vs $800

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SC430...Q5fAccessories

Saddle rear seats look virtually perfect too...$335 vs $1600 at dealer

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SEAT-...Q5fAccessories

After further review of the front seats (they supplied additional pics), looks like just your typical drivers side (left part of seat) bolster is dirty from getting in and out. No rips or tears and looks like general reconditioning is all that is required. $999 for both seats and headrests is like 70% off retail!!! You would spend $5k+ headrests at dealer. Wow!!!

This is definitely doable. Depends how bad you want Saddle...

$395 + $335 + $999 + 95 + 95 gets you all seating and headrests for the car, which is under $2k. Plus not to mention you can re-sell your popular ecru interior too.

Then all you have to worry about is the middle console and door inserts. They have an entire 2002 Black/saddle car salvage...I'm sure if you e-mail them they can give you the price for it all. BTW the interior looks very clean on the car and it had low mileage! The middle console looks perfect! Just looked at their other items and they actually have the window switches and trim for $109 (good price and nice to have for spare parts!) and $29 for the rear middle console. Didn't see the saddle front middle console, but I'm sure they have it!

You might want to be careful about purchasing the various parts from different batches. The colors may not be a great match.

+1 ^^^ good point. All the links I sent were from one 2002 black/saddle car from the same car dismantler with outstanding feedback on eBay. They even took pics of the damaged car...sniff sniff.

If you do buy all the parts from the same vendor, you might be able to have him work a deal for you, volume discount or something. You should be able to reduce the shipping costs he charges for sure.

bob/katy-are you all ever going to do the 2006+ tail lights on your SC's? I bet they would look cool. I always wondering about putting them on my 02 absolutely red but never pulled the trigger. I've got my order in with sewell...best deal.
