Yeah these are tough to find. I did find one site online that wanted $700 for both front R and front L. And they only had black, no tan.
Does anyone know anything about this group:
They say they can do a full set (front and back) for $800. The pictures on the site look pretty good too. But I don't see how they can have prices this low. Katzkin charges more than double that. Anyone know anything about them?

TMI Industries, they have been making OEM style covers for years.
I custom ordered mine and installed myself. They have leather, vinyl, air bag, no airbag... They also have specialty covers that come with custom seat foam. Check 'em out

Also I was thinking about slipping some TempurPedic foam into the lumbar portion and leg portion of the seat. Do you think I should ask TMI about this? Or just try and make my own?
How was the fit on the TMI cover? Was it spot on, or are there some lumpy/baggy portions?
Thanks for all you guys help!

I got leather blend, my regret is getting not perforated.
Customer service was great and had no problem with my requests.
I don't think the TempurPedic foam will work as it compresses more that the rigid foam they use in auto seats. It could cause the cover to be baggy in that area.
I'm sure if you ask, customer service will be happy to answer and maybe have a suggestion.
The photo was taken the day I installed them, no wrinkles fit was perfect. 4 years later, they still look great.

I found some 2011 leather take offs on ebay for cheap..under $300 shipped front and back with install tools. They are very simple to install, katskin has a video that shows you how. 2011 fits on earlier years no problem too.

How things change, different manufactures, different countries. Its been since i guess the '80's but i worked with an old gent that was the original owner of Mercedes first of its kind two door sports car vintage '50's. It had a red leather interiour. The interiour was getting tired, he went to the local dealer and ordered a complete new interior, and they delivered it some 30 years after the car was built with some 200k on the odometer.

I am in the same situation as the OP. Has anyone tried to install the eBay available 2014 seat covers on the earlier 2005-2006 seats?
Thanks
