New vendor but not cheap. Seats are in the $450 range.

Someone else on the forums was talking about having ordering one of these a few months back. Wish I could remember who & we could find out how it worked out for them.

Some are cheaper (universal ones), model specific seats are much higher priced.

I'm going to use this guy when I get mine redone. He is in Minneapolis. I think you ship him your stock pan and he ships back. I've seen a lot of pics of his work. Going to do slimmer/denser foam with stock-type cover style.

Something like this...
