New Seat Covers

My 84 Z28 came with the "Camaro Camaro Camaro" interior. I cant find anyone that sells this material in a seat cover. My front seat covers are trashed. I was told that my best option was to buy blue seat covers and have them embroided. Is this my only option?

that was a pretty rare option, and an ugly one at that, I would just cover the a different color or even go buy some replacement seats/racing seats .

the picture you posted is the best I have seen those seats and I am sure they tried hard to get them to look that good. I actually think they look ok but you will not find those in repro I am sure. Custom imbroidery seems to me like your only option.


Could always go with a set like these (post ***** in action)

85VortexTA should be reported for calling another members option "ugly." I think they look good in a 1984 kind of way. And besides, anything rare in the third gen world is a good thing.

How much fabricating do 4th gen require? Is it just drilling some new holes or do they match up to a degree?

Direct bolt in bud! No drilling just a pull on the tab of a beer and a couple short turns of a wrench.!

Your right anything rare is a good thing, except those seats .

If you want to got he 4th gen route I recommend TA powah seats, best 4th gen style period.

but you can get racing seats for pretty cheap if ya look around.

4th gen seats will cost you 5-600 unless you got connections. good quality reclinable/adjustible racing seats will cost ya 200 a pair if you look around.

Re: Seat Covers

There's a company in Miami Florida that manufactures seat covers from a heavy demin material, available in about 10 colors, they even embroider CAMARO on the covers and the price is very reasonable, they do sell via mail order. The firms name is Universal Seat Covers and Auto Accessories, 2370 Ludlam Road, Miami Florida. Phone number 305-262-0399 or 305-262-3955. I contacted them a few months ago and the price was under $100 for a set of front seat covers, if you're are anywhere near south Florida and are able to drive to them, they will measure your seats and even install the covers for an additional $10 when they are ready. I'm having a set made next month and post how they came out.
