They actually look a lot darker in the pics due to lighting and taking pic with crappy iPad camera

Watch the stitching on the drivers side seat bottom. It tends to come unstitched right near the hinge for the seat back. Or at least that was my experience on my 97 daily driver I had when I was in high school.

Yea I know it's common thing on all camaro seats 4th and 3rd gen camaro "the notorious driver side seat rip"

It's due to the fact of constant pulling and rubbing from getting into car

I plan on reinforcing with some sutures from the hospital it's not rip right now but Prolene or nylon suture materal has pretty high tensile strength so I'm not worried about that to much of ripping apart

Lol I know ...what a let down .. Lol

But every time I go to junk yard it's always a let down in San Diego or los angeles only time I get to go is Saturday or Sunday I'm mostly in Los Angeles on the weekend with the wife ..

And by that time everything that's good is already taken and left with junk

I get more luck on Craigslist and eBay or on Tgo or ls1tech

Going today to ecology in Los Angeles see if I see anything good up here
