Anyone know how much the Type-S seats actually cost? I despise my Taupe interior and I wanna switch out the front and rear seats for the Ebony.

Any thoughts on whether a new 4Gen seat would fit in a 2004? I know, probably not but I just had a '09 as a loaner and the seats felt great compared to my '04! I'm going to call the dealer to see what the price of a new seat would even be.
