For you people with the blue interior, does the tex/leather look the same color? I figure I could at least get a new armrest, mine's in rough shape.
I think you are right - they are still seats - they still perform their primary purpose.

If you are really worried about them I'd keep a look out for another set - you have time on your side to make sure you get a really good price... you could even put a WTB ad on this forum and see if anyone's got a cheap set going.
