If the material covering the seat isn't in bad shape, you can just pick up a
boneyard seat and swap covers. If the cover is worn as well, try and find
one the same color if you can.... they're very expensive if you were to try
and buy one from Dodge. They come up on ebay all the time as well, if you
can't find one in a local boneyard.
