Finding seats like this at a junkyard is a gem. Too bad they're red.


wow ok so im looking at almost a grand basically if i want them to look like those ones up top! i will ask around and see if anyone has a set like that but if not i should look at seat covers
 
Prices can vary a lot depending on where you are and who you know. I'm reporting on prices local to me and what I'm seeing people report in my online circles.

If your foams are good, you might be able to find an install yourself kit for good price. Ask around upholstery shops and see what you can find locally. Ask local car people and see who they know and recommend. Who knows what you might find.

Places like this offer repalcement upholstery that you can install yourself. (note: I am not recommending and have never used this company, it's just an example that popped up on google.) (note 2: I used 93-97 in my search because that's what appears to be in OP, similar is available for later models.) Definitely a decent option if you foams are good. That set is $350 + options and won't be an exact match for factory material but close. If you get it done local, you can probably figure on it being at least as much before labor is factored in, plus they are going to rebuild worn out foams and other damage which will add to cost. That's me talking here online, you won;t know what you can get local until you ask around.

 
Also keep an eye to ebay and classifieds, you never know what might turn up.

There's these buckets on eBay if you wanted to find a matching center console. Price it a little up there, then add shipping, but they are complete seats. I'd wouldn't mind a of sport seats like that second set for the '99, but not in red and those appear to have a pretty worn bolster on the driver side. I've heard rumor that some of those Ranger/Explorer sport seats with the adjustable thigh pad could be Recaro made, which should mean confortable and supportive, but I've never seen a set to check for myself (on rumor or comfort/support).

Even custom seat covers aren't cheap. Last I looked, it was a couple hundred, almost $300, for just the front seats in the 2011. I think those were the saddle blanket style covers too. Nothing super fancy.

With you saying that, I went back to see if I still had my reciept in my email for the F-100. Wasn't cheap in 2019 either, $230 after discount for "full custom" fitting with red Scottsdale patterned velour from Seat Covers Unlimited. Has held up well to the constant sun exposure, but I haven't driven the truck very much in the years since installing it, so can't speak much to the wear.

The 2011 covers have the added complication of the seats having air bags that deploy for side protection in a wreck. Any aftermarket cover needs to account for that so the air bags work properly.
 
wow ok thank you for that site with the seat apolstery kit i will have to check that out!
