well the exact ones on ebay are few n far between. I only like the 2001 seats, the others look a little too "sloppy" to me. I was thinkin maybe i could find somewhere that sells em wholsale or something... who knows

Did you try the above link yet? They have the exact ones you want for 750.....

however if you have a parts yard in your area i'd try them first, i went to one recently and a complete set of fourthgen leathers is only 400, 300 for cloth, so I'd try them first.

btw Aviator that's hilarious about the 350 on the seat......

yea it kinda made me mad that a really good set of seats were messed up by someone at the junk yard sitting an engine in it but oh well. The seats had covers on them, and I started moving the plastic out of the way just to find the engine in the pass seat, the driver was in great shape. Oh well I got a set off ebay, don't remember exactly what I payed but it was close to 150 for the leather set

Try http://car-parts.com this will get you some sources in your area. Also try ls1.com and camaroz28.com in their classifieds.
Might also try ls1tech.com. The prices at these sites are probably a lot better than Ebay.

Wow, this site is pretty good (www.tacreationsusa.com ) $150 bucks for a LT1 conversion brake setup. I might pick those up soon.

i could have swore the pattern started in 98 but i could be wrong. either way the color black itself would be the only reason to want that year. unfortunately your going to pay a bit for that sort.

there are plenty of junkyards in michigan that have leather for sale. it all depends on what your willing to pay and the color as well as condition your searching.

should have said something earlier....they weren't black, graphite but for the price they were worth every penny that i sold them for. i know pat is enjoying them. if you don't find anything by spring time email me and i'll help you out. i can find alot of things when it's warmer, just don't care to do it in the winter.

Not positive on the years they made them. Mine are out of a 99 tho, and I am positive that this type was avail in 97 cause I have seen them on 30th ann cars... I got mine of ebay, it took about a month of looking to find the right type/color/at a decent price I ended up forking out $550 shipped (shipping was $90 tho!) and there pretty much perfect.

AFAIK, then 93-96 style was the style without the many verticle lines.

The 97-02 was the style that Kandied has. 00-02 was available in Ebony/black.

I'm not sure about colors for the 93-96 style. Mine are 96 SS leather ones and they are just about black...

The stlye you want are only available in ebony/black from 00-02.

If you want the other style of seats (93-96), I know you can get an ALMOST black in '96... I have a set.
