Looking for a set of leather seats

So the front seats in my 90 are pretty thrashed, so figure it's time to find some new seats or some seat covers. Figure while I'm at it I'd love to get some leather seats (heated would be bonus points). If possible I'd love to find a full set so at least the seats all match, but if not I'm looking for at least the fronts. Anyone have any they want to sell fairly inexpensively (student budget right now)?

Watch Ebay for leather kits for Subarus... the seats are very similar through the years, except the WRX which have bigger side bolsters. You can usually get a new leather kit for a Legacy or Forester for about $100-250. Install it yourself, use nylon zip-ties in place of the metal hogrings, it's an easy job. Sometimes a little creativity is required for the bottom cushion where it attaches to the seat pan.
Do you have a sedan or wagon? I'd sell you my wagon LS leather seats in tan, but shipping costs will be rough...

there's a set of black/dark grey leather seats in my local junk yard. Was thinking about grabbing them myself, but then I remembered what it was like to have dark leather seats in my Integra GS-R, and why I switched to cloth racing seats.
I'd be willing to pull them for you, but as stated before, the shipping is going to kill you.

Ya, shipping would be painful I'm sure, I appreciate the offer though. The local yards don't list any seats at all really, but I'll have to check them out to be sure. I may have some new mechanical gremilins so the seats may take a back burner for a little bit.

Is there any difference between sedan and wagon seats (front)?
