Need to recover my seats

I have decided to keep my truck. I did the Expy center console mod, and i swaped seats with a buddy who has a '97 with armrests and a pretty ulgy brown. i need ideas (pictures) of how to have them redone. Im thinking i want some pading added to "hug" me alittle more, ya know? i kinda like the Lightning seats and may go with something like that. Give me ideas...

Oh please dont link or add pics from photobucket or something like that. Im on a Gov computer, so everything is blocked. If you link to your gallery i can see it. thx....

heres a pic of before i swaped seats, but after the expy install, I was also thinking about new carpet....? new color?

Get some leather covers from Katzkin(autoleathers.com). And spend the extra $100 and replace your carpet while you have the seats out.
