Last weekend I finally installed my custom leather seat upholstry.

The front and rear seats are now Blue and Silver (To match the exterior of the car) as well as custom, digitized embroidered "Z28" in Blue w/ silver outlining, and "25th Anniversary" in red on the front seats.

Took over 20 hours (Sat & Sun) for me to remove the seats from the car, remove the old upholstery (factory light grey "p"leather), install the new custom leather upholstery, hog ring, cut out holes for screws, bolts, headrest, etc, and take lots of pictures along the way.

I am doing a complete review on the seats which is why all the pics were necessary and why it took so long. After much aching hands, fingers, back, cuts.. finally got them installed and into the car.

Here are some pics of them in the car. Note: These are not the best quality. They were taken during sundown and I've yet to have been able to take good pics when it's sunny (always raining on the weekend).

The blue on the seats might look shiny but that is because of the flash on the camera reflecting. Just letting you know since people are accusing me of painting for the seats, or they are too glossy.. ;-)








Personally I am very happy with the results. Definately looking forward to going to the next bunch of car shows next year. :-)

 

I like them a lot, me personally I would have done a black and dark grey color scheme.

 

The car isn't black or grey ;-)

 

looks pretty good

 

me likes but would have put Z28 on head rests instead of seat

 

gorgous

 

those seats go perfect with your car .looks cool.

 

The seats look good with the outside of the car, agreed. They stick out like a sore thumb in the gray and black interior IMHO.

Are you doing anything to tie the seats in better? Right now, I'm sorry, but it's ugly to me.

 

mmm.... undecided

 

deffinately need matching door pannels

 

hey Paul
what I would have done is sold your stock leather seats as they were MINT
bought some cheap rripped ones off me and recovered them, that way you could have made some money back! now uve thrown out mint leather covers

I like the idea and the cover, but the colours with the rest of the grey might not match that well? nevertheless its your car so who cares what anyone else says, as long as you like it

 

Really nice man! I'm thinking of installing leather seats now.

 

just notice the windsheild banner

not a fan of that LOL

also get some matching floor mats too to go with the matching door panels and seats
LOL

 

I agree... they match the outside, but the only thing they match on the inside is themselves. Just my opinion though

And with that, its off the the Interior board.

 

gorgeous dude, really nice, the match your paint so well and i dont mind them with the look of your grey interior......but yeah mathing door pannels might be a bit TOO much IMO

 

wow...very loud...sure cant miss them...


looks good though

 

Did you buy this somewere.......if so share I woulds really like to do the same thing to my 86 Iroc seats. I was thinking red on white or silver.


By they way they look really good.

 

The headrests must be cut apart to take them off.

The rest I cut off to save time..

 

They look like the mr. mike seat kits to me.

A little loud and don't match the inside of the car, but that's just me, and I am kinda a minimalist.

 

Yep they are. I'm doing a long and complete review on the seats along with lots of pictures of before, during, process, and installed.

 

I think the seats look amazing. But I would definately try and do something to tie in the blue with the rest of the interior.

 

do you have your stock ones for sale

 

In order to remove the headrest upholstery, you must cut it off. After that I seen no way of selling the old upholstery so I saved time and just cut them off. They are gone in the garbage.

 

not sure about the seats but u have a nice car :hail: ...until someone cuts the steering wheel and takes "the club" off LoL

 

good way to make money

 

You have to cut the headrest upholstery up to get it off.. No one would buy that.

 

yes but you could have sold your mint seats
bought a set of seats locally that had ripped upholstery and reupholstered them!!
then u could have ure original sets sold for $300-$400us minimum

 

indeed that is correct thats what i thought you did oh well

 

seats look nice but dont match the interior
