PM member Truckseats (Tim) he can set you up. Believe he has a thread that shows examples that a search should turn up. The quality is actually better than OEM. The repros use melamine instead of cardboard, the stitching is real and done by hand (not embossed pseudo-stitches), and the scrolling is deeply embossed. The padding is a little thicker so the panels are a little "puffier" than OEM. Mine came from Brothers because I didn't know that Truckseats could supply these. The walrus grain vinyl is similar.

I have gotten similar grommets at Boaters World (now defunct) but you may have some luck at West Marine or some other boating site.
good luck!
Thanks! Not brass appear chrome/stainless. NAPA has a very close match for the chrome trim screws. The OEM screws are self tapping and shorter.
