Default Quality Seat Cover?

Does anyone know where I can get a nice seat cover for my front seat? I don't know if it is possible, but preferably for just the bottom cushion. I really don't want one but the rip on the bottom part of the seat is just too big (from previous owner). I have looked online and I haven't really been able to find anything worth buying. I just want something that can blend as much as posible with the gray seat and one that can match as closely as possible to the leather feel. Has anyone had to do this and found a good place to look? I've tried amazon, ebay, and some other car sites around and haven't seen anything enticing. I guess replacing the leather on the seat is an option if it's even possible, but again I don't want to spend an exorbitant amount on a 12 year old car. Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

Why not buy the factory seat cover from Audi and replace the torn one?

well how much would that be? If it's going to be like $500 it's not worth it.

Why the bump?
Did you call Audi for a price? Did you try Carson Heter, parts guy (Google)?

haven't been able to reach Audi and I won't be able to go into Audi for a little over a week. I have never heard of Carson Heter, I'll give that a try, thanks!

Maybe check around at upholstery shops. Tell them you'd carry the seat in, and see what they'd charge.

2nd that. I had the bottom half of my driver seat completely recovered (2 yrs ago - still looks great) for $160.
