I have never seen a black interior panel (like the plastic in the rear) with cloth inserts. My '87 interior has the cloth/carpet material glued on them. Its like a 6" tall strip on each panel. How come black panels never have this on them?

 

it is interesting...
my 86 firebird does not have have carpet on them, however my camaro IROC does...
its probably some option

 

my friend's 84 Camaro Berlinetta has black carpeted panels

 

Here's apic of the carpeted black panels out of my 87 Iroc.
my 83 Transam also had carpeted black panels.

 

an option. i like it , then the plastic wont fade.

 

It's part of the deluxe interior setup. My car has it, I like it alot. Much better looking than plain big plastic pieces.

 

The material, uncut or pre-cut, can be purchased from the Paddock.

iam actually going to paint my rear panels red/black
heres a pic of one of my panels that i painted so far
i had to take the carpet and glue off it first

 

but i think it was worth it

 

I upgraded mine to the deluxe option. and made templates, cut, and glued in carpet for mine. The real PITA was the curved wheel well areas. ended up with some ripples but it's not to bad.

 

I have black-panelled kickpanels and lower center console that are carpetted. Surprisingly, the rear panels aren't carpetted, though.

 

I actually got a whole black carpeted interior on ebay the other day for 46 bucks. =)
