Default 2008 seat leather replacement

I need to replace the leather seat on my 2008. I reached out to leatherseats.com but they do not make 2008 and 2009. Any other recommendation where I can get hold of?
I live in the South Bay of Los Angeles.

I am also considering getting replacement seat from Japan. The question is, is the seat the same despite LHR versus RHD? I found a company that makes them and they said that the only difference is to reverse the whole parts, meaning use the back as the front when sewing them together.
Will you all agree to this?

I just did this in my 2007 with JDM seats. The seat rails will need to be kept from your existing seats. Additionally theres a bracket bolted to the USDM-passenger seat back that needs to be swapped over. The 06+ passenger rail is different from JDM due to the seat belt bolting to the rail not the chassis. Basically what I ended up doing was keeping both seat rails as-is. Then swapping that bracket from the USDM passenger seat to the JDM driver seat back and putting that in the passenger seat side. The bottom seat sections are identical, its only the seat back that needs modified.

Weird, this person (post 35) seems to have replacement covers for his 06+ from leatherseats.com.

Also, have you tried Katzkin? Their site actually only shows options for 2006 and newer.
