    Contact Legendary and see if they carry them.
    Otherwise, you can get them from a top shop/upholstery shop.

    My top guy uses EZ-On tops, they are pre-marked for installation and are easy to work with.

    I posted the question on the buickperformance e-mail list also :)
    How much would a change cost me at a shop?

    Electron Top in New York has the best quality top I've ever used, my shop uses them exclusively and has for 15 years. http://www.electron-top.com/ :TU:

    For a complete top....pads, cables, rear glass window, possible tacking strips, well and labor
    figure $800-1000. If you need top weatherstrip...add another $300

    For seat covers, get them from Legendary. Due to the age of the car, I bet
    the vinyl is brittle and will need replacement for both front and rear seats.
