GTA seats??? GTA Seats??? GTA Seats??? hold your tongue... just kidding, actually I think they may have been from an 87 t/a or GTA originally.

Just to make a note, although they were in all GTA's the name of them were "Ultima" seats in my 1991 Owners manual, and I know for sure they were optional in the T/A. I also have some Black & white dealer pictures of FORMULAS with the Ultima seats. and I looked at a pretty original looking formula that had them (does not mean anything), so they might have been one of those options like the 1LE, they were avialble on the formula but you had to know who to ask, and a cooperative dealer.

I know that your question was about interior projects, but do you realize how good a set of black cross-lace rims would look on that car. HOLY MOLY that would look grrrreeeaaat!!

As far as interior, that blue gauge thing would look good, and if you could get some blue and black racing seats that might look pretty good too. I think anything interior should not be overdone though. It should look like that is how it came from the factory ya know.

Are those your lights?

If so :hail:

I'm looking into putting some LED's in my dash, and hopefully gettting them to look (half) as good as those do. How many did you use per socket, and where did you order them from. I've seen others do them, but the light never appears as even as those.

I ordered the leds from http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR
They look real good. I like them alot. I also have the two floor lights blue, blue neons by my feet, and the dome light is blue. Looks pretty good though. I photoshopped the blue ac controls, I need to figure out how to get them and the rest of the lights blue also.
