Your old steering wheel was better.
So how do those rock hard 4th gen seats feel?

I liked it better before. It's not too often that I see a thirdgen with stock seats in as good of shape as the ones you had. If mine were that nice I never would have removed them.

Although I wasn't a big fan of the firebird steering wheel, I think it looked a lot classier than the new wheel.

I like the seat swap and I wonder if that is an identical fabric match?

Heres another vote for before. Your seats where in great shape and looked fine. And I like the old steering wheel much better too. But, its not my car

I have to say, I like all the mods you've done to your car- they're all very tasteful and not at all tacky... except that horrible $20 dune buggy steering wheel you just installed. That thing has got to go.

Or if you don't wanna use a 2x4 or buy new shocks, you can use a vise grip and clamp it on the silver part of the support.

Shocks are cheap, get them at oreilly's or something. I know they are way cheaper than 85 bucks.

I just checked oreilly's and hatch shocks are $15 bucks each for the cheapest ones. Looks like they can go as high as $40 bucks each. I am not sure what the difference is. I am sure the $15 is at least worth it if you want to have it work right. That was the first thing I replaced on my Camaro when I first bought it. I busted a t-top while trying to put them in and lift the hatch at the same time. It is worth it to replace them.

There are different levels because some shocks are stronger to accomodate for spoilers and such.

I love them 4th gen seats. Why did you pull the stockers? They look imaculate... any way looks great in there. I saw your other topic about that little colide with your garage. I just had one with the back of a mustang, good luck with everything.
