Leather shift **** and e-brake handle?

Did the leather shift **** and emergency brake handle only come a GTA's. I was looking on ebay and found some. But now i can't remember if my 91 v6 firebird has leather or not? The car is at home today(supposed to rain) so i have no way of checking before the auction ends(i know, how dumb am i to not know my own car?) But for some reason i just can't remember. Can anyone help me before the auction ends?

thanks

If it is leather, it will be stitched on the top and sides. The molded ones are not.

9d1burd,

So, I'm not sure I get it. You don't want to get leather ones if your car doesn't have them already? Or are you trying to make sure the new ones are leather? Just wundrin'.

leather accessories I believe were available on all levels of the firebird, formula, T/A & GTA, it was an option most years without leather seats...
