Leather Seats

I am in the process of redoing my interior and I really really want to get leather seats for my car. I was just woundering what the easiest and cheapest way to get leather is. These are the options i can think of, Get them professionally reapolstered, reapolster them myself, by leather seats from another rx-7 (i live in saskatchewan so they aren't exactly in abundance), find a different car that has leather seats that wound fit with some minor adjustments, or just screw the leather idea and get racing buckets. Can someone help me out with which way to go.

I just got some from another rx7 guy. Almost brand new seats for 350 shipped. I think it was a pretty good price considering the alternative. I would look on thepartstrader.com and here for a good set of leather seats.

Does anyone make leather kits for FC's to re-upholster yourself? I know for the FD but haven't heard of any for the FC.

Professionally done will be $600-800 on average for a pair. I lucked out and managed to find 90% good condition leather seats from an S5 coupe for $300.
