As per these two recent posts on the seat covers:

I too did the Orio (from esaabparts) route.
I too got a much better quality seat cover (all leather, not the cheap- almost -like -vinyl -leather but definitely leather (I work with leather professionally for book binding and conservation purposes) and vinyl combo.

I too submit no one could tell the difference in the way it matches the rest of my seat and other seats throughout, as the color dyeing is spot on and color coded to interior trim (in my case K02-found on info sticker with vin and suspension info on driver side door)

Only difference is quality. One of best things I ever did with my 93.

I see now price is up on these covers from a few years ago, and some trim colors harder to find.

But with all the questions I see over years about the bad seat covers, I am compelled to second "TG's" experience that replacement from ORIO is a great way to go.

Again, I installed myself, not that hard to watch a few seat upholstery vids for GM cars out there and figure out general procedure to unhook clasps and hooks.
BUT as I said on other recent post, have a pair of HOGRING PLIERS and fresh hogrings to do reinstall.

Took me about 3 hours all said figuring it out but would say it would take me now about 1.5 when all is said and done.
