Apparently I sat in the drivers seat with something in my back pocket, poked a couple of holes in the vinyl. Looking for a source of a new seat bottom, any ideas? FFR doesn't handle just the seat bottom..

I'd be curious to know as well. I could use a replacement if they are available?
I believe this is the supplier. You might be able to order just a bottom cover. They are in England, so shipping might be high.

I was having a poke around, there is also https://www.cobraseats-usa.com. That might be worth a call.
Vinyl covers are an easy repair for many upholstery shops. I ripped a piece of vinyl trim in a car and had it repaired pretty cheap. They can usually glue a patch on the back side and then blend and replicate the grain pattern on the front so that it is virtually impossible to see the repair.

Heard back from Cobra-USA, the seat bottoms are available. They come with new foam and the cover, available 4 weeks after order. A little steep if you ask me $ 250 and they recommend 2 so there isn't a color or slight grain difference, can be reached at:

$250 is more than a little steep. 2 complete seats from FFR is $599.
I think I'd give an upholstery shop a try.
What decision needs to be made? Upholstery shop repair $50-75, two seat bottoms $500. Take me about 10 seconds to figure that one out.
I’ve used those upholstery repair kits with very good results. Try it yourself and if it doesn’t work, call in the pros
