2008 Bucket Seat Upgrade? Suggestions?

My front seats are tooaaast in my 2008. Left my windows down and the wetting and drying of my leather seats has caused them to crack and tear. Nothing new to this group I'm sure. I've found a lot of local seats that match my tan interior on car-part.com (a site my mechanic brother told me about). However, my question is, will 2012 seats bolt up the same? They seem to be much nicer as they have less ware, duh. Are there any cooler options I might not be considering? Newer model seats? Something out there that I don't even know about yet? (Old School reference).

Thanks!

Curious to see responses to this too...
All I've ever found are 2008 seats from totaled cars at pick and pulls... Couldn't justify 200+ for a very used seat. And to find a tan one is less common.
I would be interested to even hear about people's experiences with eBay seat covers or similar products... or reupholster jobs.

Same car as you Cutler, 08 RDX tan interior... with toasted seats. and a toasted center console cover.

The factory replacement covers are discontinued, but CoverKing has custom fit covers. I've never seen a set from them.

I have see a set from Katzkin and they are beautiful. (in a Scion Xb)

I just sent Katzkin a email to see if they still do our covers.
I'd like to redo my front seats
