my new seats

well, as some might remember, i decided to redo my interior awhile ago, it now has a ratchet shifter, 4th gen console, and now it has 4th gen seats, i had previously tried dying the seats, but the padding was just shot, so i picked these up from a 2001? firebird for $25/seat............

Me too. Your set up looks real tight.

Good find on the seats, they look to be in excellent condition.

like wise, that thing looks awsome, is it just the shifter replacement,- for looks, or is it like the b&m shifter?

Very nice man. It's looking good. I need to get a deal on seats like that.

Now if I just could get someone to get me the armrest mounting brackets I need I could get my door panels replaced. Then I could get to finding some seats like that.

/end rant.

Good deal on the seats. I got my 4th gen leather for the price of stripping a car and parting it out. I bought a 93 Trans Am without an engine that had been in a wreck. Parted out everything I could and broke even. I kept the leather seats.
