Tan 4th Gen Seats!

Ok guys I did a search and came up with nothing!
My 1990 Has a tan interior! but i came upon a good deal for some black and grey fouth gen seats which i really like the way they sit but the color doent match! I am really hoping to keep the interior color tan. any ideas? The seats are $150 for all of them! the drivers seat has the normal tear in the bolster but it can be repaired!
Can they maybe be painted or died? i thought about light tan where the black is and gold in the center where the grey is, but i really dont think the will work.
Or do they make tan 4 gen seat covers?

I have the "natural" 4th gen seats in my GTA right now. They are as close to tan as it comes for 4th gens. Lighter than the factory tan by a lot.

ivon, why not get on ebay and take a look for tan seats. They'll be more expensive than that set you have there, however, they'll still be Tan, and cheaper than ebony and black 4th gen leather seats found on ebay which can go for 600 bux easy. I'd expect 250-300 buxwhen a set pops up.

I have neutral seats out of a '97 Trans Am. I've always loved the color, but searched for months before I finally found them on eBay.

I totally agree that they are out of place. The gray ones were just less out of place than the original red ones that were there before LOL.
So, to answer your question - yes! Im definitely going to change them. The problem is that nothing that I know of other than custom or 4th gen door panels will match the neutral color, so Im planning on making some over the winter. We'll see!

I've got neutral seats from a '97 TA as well! I wanted to stick with tan for my interior and I also had to wait quite a while to find a decent set on eBay. In many cases the tan ones seem to go for higher prices. Mine aren't 100% perfect, there is slight wear showing on the side bolster (came out of a car with 75k miles on it if I Remember correctly) but I'm happy with them overall. Definitely grab them if you're getting the set for $150, I paid WAY more than that for mine, and I know others have as well!!(although I got a full set of seatbelts out of the deal as well )

Here's a pic of mine

and

(please excuse the NASTY floormats, they're just protecting the new carpet until I get a new set of floormats)

I found my neutral fourth-gen seats on eBay. I think they were around $350 delivered to my door. I got the whole set - fronts & rears. Mine are out of a 2000 Camaro. Here's a pic of the fronts (still haven't installed them yet...):

In the last line of this auction, seller says he has tan covers.
