New seat upholstery/seat covers
I have a 97 Mustang convertible, V6, and the cloth seat upholstery is starting to wear (no complaints since this is still the original upholstery). I don't want seat covers to just put over the existing seats, I'm looking for a set of replacement cloth seat covers that would be installed by an auto upholstery shop. I've seen several available sets in leather and vinyl, but nothing in cloth.
A local auto upholstery shop will reupholster the 2 front seats and the back seat, from scratch (I can pick the color, fabric, etc.) for between $700-$800, but he suggested that if I could buy the seat cover set, they would install them, and it might be cheaper.
Does any body have a source for replacement cloth seat cover sets? Thanks.

The tech at the upholstery shop took a look at my seats and commented that the fabric seams were not stitched, but heat fused, the fabric could also be fused to the foam and not really replaceable, short of tearing the seats down to the frame and upholstering them from the frame up. I checked several places online that sell Mustang parts and I couldn't locate any replacement cloth seats covers (lots of leather and vinyl options but I personally think leather seats, especially black or dark gray, in a convertible make absolutely no sense). If I locate something I will post that information.
