I bought a set from NPD - wound up I didn't use them, but they looked pretty original. Pretty sure most all of them sell ones from the same mfg.

Stay friends with that guy! Last time I used a small local shop around here they charged me 350 to re-pad and cover a bench seat with plain grey vinyl. Walked kinda funny for a couple days after that experience..........
