Here are the pictures. I finally finished. The silver doesn't come out well at this camera setting. I like this better than going the 4th gen seat route.

New interior :hail: :hail:

 

Looks really good, just kinda looks old fashioned to me if that makes sense.

 

Looks great with your car!

 

Quick6 Your right. Thats the effect I want. I'm an old guy too.

 

Looks really really nice man!!!!:hail:

Did you install them yourself?

If not, how much did it cost you to have them put on? If you dont mind me asking.

THX

 

Oh wow, that looks absolutely awesome, man.

I like your floor mats, too.

 

Fast 83,
I did the install myself. I just read a how to do book before I started. The only tuff part was the driver's seat. I had to replace some foam and use stuffing to get the shape back.(it was in BAD shape). The seat covers are really well made and fit very good. I highly recommend them, you can see why.

 

thats one nice interior. Black and silver is a great color combination for an interior.

 

Sweet... looks sort of retroish.. I dunno.

Awesome job man.

How much was it all?

I am very interested in new seat covers.

 

got mine from hawks too...including doorpanels.!!!

 

Oh yeah! I had to have the door panels too!

 

Wow, hot stuff Abubaca. They look real nice.

 

Does anyone have the information (website, address, etc) for those HAWKS interiors? they're sweet! :hail:

 

Look up top its a orange ad, cant miss it. They are a sponsor.

 

DAMN! DO I FEEL STUPID?! WILL SOMEONE SLAP ME SO I WAKE UP?!

 

looks real good

 

I have door panels and carpet on it's way from Hawk's. We will see how it turns out.

 

Which style are those? He has two different styles listed. Which one is closer to the original? I have the same seats but mine are the lighter grey. I don't want to buy the wrong ones
Thanks.

 

We have the same steering wheel. Were you the one that had to have your seat covers sent like four different times and you ended up with three sets or something like that? What did the whole kit including door panels cost? How long did it take to put them on. Do you remove old coverings first or just place these over the top. Great job looks awesome!

 

Not to hijack this thread, but as far as which styles are offered...this is what I did. I called Bruce, told him what I had, sent him a pic. I never really even looked on the website except for the very first time. It was all done via the phone and Email. Bruce was GREAT to deal with. I think there are a LOT more combo's and options available than what's on the website, plus I think the site was a little confusing as far as what was available.

 

Did you also do the install yourself? If so how tuff was it, how long did it take? Requires removal of the seats of course. Are these just held on with clips underneath?

 

The covers are held on by hog rings from the bottom of the seat.

I cant wait to order my seat covers and door pannels. I've heard nothing but good about Hawk's. Your seats look awesome.

 

Looks good. I need the same ones. Glad to see your happy with them.

 

Weird how the Firebird never had seats that "retro" looking.

Personally I am going to keep the stock look except I wish to add the fourth gen leather which just looks like GTA seats except for the headrests are different.

omcrider,
Yes you do take the old covers off.
Yes I am the guy that had all the mix-ups in his order. What I learned from that was not to use the web site. Call Bruce!! All my problems were solved as soon as he found out about them. What the other guy said is true. There are more Items and combos than listed.For example my silver and black door panels wern't listed. Just Call Bruce he is a nice guy that will steer you right.

 

Glad to see it finally worked out for you! Covers look great, I like the silver and black. I may have to do that myself. Thanks for the info.

 

Looks very well done 89rsragtop, excellent work.
But here a question, anyone know if your seats are in very good condition, can these hawk covers be put over the orginal seats to protect the original seats?

Fredel

 

HAs anyone gotten the Vinyl "leather look alike" covers?

 

Knight350,
There is no way they would fit over another cover. They are made for a tight smooth fit on the foam . and thanks.

Omcrider,
Thanks for your kind words.Good Luck with your intreior.

 

89rsragtop..

Very sweet looking! And a nice job done as well. These covers must must be really easy to install, or you took your sweet time doing the install.

I've got a 91 ragtop and the foam on the seats are perfect, but the drivers side seat cover is begining to seperate on the left bolster. So I'm very glad you posted this info, and even happier I stopped in to take a look.

I noticed thirdgen resource sells them as well. No price difference though.

Between thirdgen resource and hawks, I found everything I need to bring new life to my interior. Now I just have to save up for all the goodies I want to get.

One question though.
I noticed the new covers have that black center line going through the seats just like in the original.

One our car this piece is made of vinyl and I'm wondering if the new covers you got has vinyl or just another piece of fabric going down the center.

Thanks

 

Sunbitz,
It's not a hard job, just a PIA. But it gives you a very high pride factor when done.
The stripe is made of vinyl.

 

it looks good!

 

I am planning on using HAWKS stuff when I do my second formula

John

 

Your new interior looks awesome. GREAT job...

 

Well, seeing your interior sure sold me, 89rsragtop! I've gone and ordered a new set of seat covers for myself. =)

 

WOW

that looks amazing, i love the look of those 3rd gen seats in nice condition or redone. definately would take those over the 4th gen style

 

that's awesome looking!

brandon

 

Looks amazing man.. I just ordered a set from Thirdgen Resource last week, hope it comes out as good as that.. the only difference is that mine are all black with silver stripes.. Now i really can't wait for it to get here!

 

I would also like to know the answer to this question.

I really would prefer to have non vinyl/leather seats because they are a lot of work to keep up. But the vinyl/leather seats are the only ones you can get in solid black.

 

I thought MrMikes Custom Interiors sold a Black Leather. I know Black Leather is available, where? I don't know. My car has a true black leather, It is blacker than my new black carpet.

Or did I misunderstand your question?

John

 

I got the black and grey for fourth gen seats. I only recovered the driver's seat so far. It's a little on the difficult side. There's a lot of adjusting and reseating the cover to get it to sit correct but it looks great. Once I finish the passenger side i'll get some pics.

 

Which ones did you get? These: http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...l?v=1&pid=5863 Or these: http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...?v=1&pid=12375 I would be interested in seeing some pictures of what you have done. Thanks

 

Well, I got the set pictured in the first link but colored the same as the second link!

Here's a link to Hawk's picture of them:

Here's a pic.

 

Pretty nice, and they were $400? Looks like a pretty snug fit.

 

i have an 84 firebird that has the rare lumbar seats, it has the side and lowe lumbar , im in the middle of a interior conversion to become blue. Does anyone no if they exsist or can be made?

 

I want seat covers that are solid black, but I don't want vinyl or leather, because those materials are high maitinance.

I want a cloth like material that is solid black, but nobody I can find sells them. They only sell covers with two color combinations like black & silver.
