Factory seats trashed - suggestions for replacement?

I have the green leather seats and they are shot from UV exposure and the occasional sprinkles with the top down.

I am about to call the dealer to ask for the cost for 2 new green leather seats ready to bolt in but I am afraid of the price.

I'd prefer to stay factory but any suggestions for best price on such an item? On my other car, I was able to find a licensed dealer that will sell me any factory part for about 40% discount after shipping. Suggestions or ideas?
Thanks

You can just order the covers and have a Trim shop do the install...>

Complete seats would be outrageous $$ I suspect

How about a set of black seats for a nice color contrast? ;-)

You could replace with the black optic for about $1600

The covers are outrageous too, but cheaper than whole seats.
