depends on what you want. 2 tone w/ leather & suede, or 100% vinyl, or 100% leather.. its all up to you.
the 100$ vinyl is the cheapest at like 500 bucks for the whole set.
the mix btw vinyl & leather is around 700ish bucks (this is what most people get. )
the 100% leather is 1200-1500 bucks.
www.autoleathers.com go price some out with the mix and match stuff off the site.

If you're pulling the seats out of another alero, why wouldn't you just bolt them into your car? Why mess with taking the skins off?

i know right.. don't make sense not to. Unless if the frame and/or cushion is worn. then i can see a swap over.
the only thing that you can't undo is the headrest and backseat side bolsters. Those are perminately made like that from the factory. But the rest of the seats are removable covers.

you could also just go to an auto reupholsterer and have them do it for you. (the whole deal like they order their own leather and whatnot.) prices vary but you would most likely be spending around the same price, and wouldnt have to worry about messing up the install.
