I don't know about the seats, but the shifter is awesome. How did you rig all that up?

Wow your Z is sweet. I really like the white/black combo. That shifter is crazy. Ive never seen one out of plane on a car. Now just rig up some missles and youll be all set. or it would be cool to use the buttons for Nitrous or something.

Looks good. I had a pic a while back of the interior of a 4th gen with white seats. The door panels even had white leather/vinyl inserts and that looked really good as well. Just curious but where'd you get the control lever for a MIG? It seems like it would be very comfortable.

Man if I had that shifter I would probably play with it too much and get in an accident from not paying attention (arm the cannons! fire!!)

Love the seats! Love the shifter!! Love the car!!
Great job! If you have any more pictures- post away. Also, I was wondering if those are the stock door panels or something else? Kinda hard to tell in the pic.

The seats are out of a 1995 Trans Am GT convertible. They are incredibly comfortable, and the one of the first mods that I have done that EVERY girl that rides in the car comments on about their awesomeness . I picked up the shifter at a saturday market type thing in Moscow, Russia this past summer. The shifter pretty much slipped over a 1" piece of conduit, and I modified the bottom of the conduit to resemble the base of my original hurst shifter. I removed the shift boot and cut the aluminum panel to fit. The rubber boot is from the Hurst short throw. I'll post more pics of the interior soon. I am still working on flame throwers and other things to hook the buttons up to.

The seats flow very nicely with the car, but the shifter doesn't although I think that's a kick-*** idea on your part.

That looks great! Do you know how rare those seats are? I have seen those very seats on Ebay go for $800.

I too have done the same thing except in my 4th Gen. Like you said, every woman who has seen the white leather seats has loved them and only a few guys did not like it.

Very nice!

i love the leather but i think the shifter would look much cleaner if it were replaced with a white ball, its your car however and it does look like ya did a great job mounting it, sometimes its good to be unique!

yeah I was thinking about re-painting it black (the shifter), but then it kinda looses the nostalgic look/ resembles a gaming joy stick. It is a little out of place on the car but I think it is fun to be a little different. It is definately a conversation starter and very comfortable. + now I can pretend that I am blowing up cars when they go to slow

freakin sweet man. i looove white leather. all my dream cars were white leather. from a purple 70 challenger with white leather, to an orange 69 camaro with white leather. just awesome.

and yes, i would love to pretend driving is a video game. that way when youre about to crash you just hit reset and watch the title screen again.
