Those seats look AWESOME!
What did it cost to have the seats, door panels, and console lid recovered? And what color is the leather exactly?

I LOVE the white interior. The exterior color is damn nice too. Not so founded about the wheels, decals on the wing and the hood but otherwise its very very clean.

The seats look amazing! I would lose the hood and try a cowl hood it would make a world of a difference.

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
Great looking car. While I'm not one to like Trans Am wheels on a Camaro, or the turbo IROC-Z hood, to each his own. And very nice work with the seats. Good luck keeping them white though You should contemplate the idea of replacing the carpet with black, I think it would flow better with the white on black door panels.

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
I just get the car with these decals before I started to restore it. I did not pay attention to them Thank You for the advice, maybe I'll go to remove them. The wheels, I already wrote about them in upper post.

About the floormats, I think I will go with the grey carpet mats, these are just temporary.

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
I know you could easily sell the grey carpet here on thirdgen.org and then go buy some black carpet to put in. I've sold a set of grey carpet and floor mats on here before and it didn't take long to sell. Plus, changing out carpet is so easy, you can do it in 2 hours or less with nothing but a socket wrench.

love the blue lights in the dash cluster, did you wire in the LEDs or did you buy some premade ones and where did you get them?

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
What are these 3 lights for? 3 on the other side too?
Just looks? Or do they help light up the rear area at night?
As for the wheels...Keep them. I think they look great & we had them on my wife's autocross car, but we painted the laces to match the stripes o her car & kept the polished lips.

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
you can get headers coated for like around 150 or so and it would make that bay look so much sharper honestly its a very good investment not only does it look better it lowers the engine bay temp and runs cooler....its a great investment and your headers will last forever

Re: Pics of my restored Camaro 1991
The Interior looks awesome and the paint looks great......but You NEED to refurbish those wheels, it's real easy to do. Also the engine bay looks like S hit. Get rid of all that chrome loom dude. It looks tacky as hell.Trust me there is ALOT more you can do to it to make it look better. I'm not trying to be a ****, just giving you some constructive criticism. Here's what mine looks like to help you.
