I hear you guys on the mirrors. I was running with standard truck mirrors for the last 18 months and I liked the look but not the huge blind spot...I just re-installed the originals....much better visibility and somewhere to rest my hand while driving as a bonus!

For seats, after much thinking it thru, I went with some new manufactured seats out of California. Here's a link to the actual seats I purchased, I went with black vinyl. I think I paid $649 a few years back.

One more thing about these seats, the cup holders are way too shallow to hold a normal take-out coffee/drink cup...there are 4 holders and the back 2 are marginally deeper but it's a shame cause I seem to drive with a coffee most of the time.
