How do you think these would look?

Hey guys! Its been awhile...

I have an opportunity to purchase some seats for my car for $800+ shipping newly covered. How do you think these would go with my car?

My Z28 has light tan interior with a gloss black bolt in roll bar...Here is the newest pic of the Z28...?

I think those will look very nice. Im a big fan of the two tone tan interiors. My late recaro TA had the two tone like that except with gray in the centers. It looked very tasteful and gave it uniqueness. Be sure to recover the upper section of the doorpanel to match too and it'll look as hot on the inside as it does on the outside! Beautiful car man

Yep those are some nice seats and they'll flow with your car perfectly. The black heritage stripe theme will now be incorporated into your interior in a way. Get em.

Someone highjacked my Car Domain site/password and posted a bunch of negative stuff on peoples cardomain pages or profiles under my acct. Deleted my pictures, guestbook, and evrything. I dont want to deal with that no more.

Therefore, I'm going to try and make a full webpage dedicated to my car, and Camaro's with links, other Camaro's, history and everything. If you need anything or whatever you can email me anytime or IM me on AOL Shawn18JGR.


Thanks for your opinions I just want to make sure they will look great...Versus me painting every flippin trim peace and changing everything over to black this will make a nice look and blend well I'm hoping.

Thanks guyz...

Thats Dupont bright red...somewhere in the file I have the paint code# yet its just bright red. I purchased the car less the stripes, wheels, and newly restored front bumper, lights,facia, and grill for 4k in 2004 so it came with that paint job. Its a really great paint job...Not perfect but couldn't be better for what I paid for the car.

The wheels were custom made in S.California ZE Forged Stixx there discontinued I guess.

The cars getting there slowly. I would so love to dump 10K in it yet, I do not have a lot of money to spend on it. Yet, when I do and can buy something for it I apprciate it. I guess someday it will be where I want it. As you all know it never ends!

I might be the only one to say this, so here we go.

You can get two cool racing seats for about 150 a piece, and than get a rear set from a JY from a fourth gen. It will come up way less in cost and it would look very cool!
I am thinking that 800 is waaaay too much for the seats. But than again I am always on a budget and my thought has been clouded by that
Good luck, and a sweet looking camaro!

Not a bad idea...I have thought that too...Yet, its so hard to find racing seats that fit right. I hear Sparco sit to tall in our cars...

I do not have the resources or ability to custom fabricate anything. I know you can get anything done these days. I dont want to use a bracket that I have to drill into the floor pan. But I might for this below...

I was thinking of adding that seat set and then buying this seat for the drivers seat for when I take it Road Coursing and Autocross events. Its 1399.00 yet I only need one and it would complinment my future suspension planned upgrades and be perfect. There is one on Ebay right now for $800.00 new.
I'm going to see how that goes...I'm trying to kinda build a pro touring Z28 that a race/street car over time...





Similar to this car!

Those are pretty sharp. My buddy (Luvmy92) has the same covers only in black and white to match his white 92 with black heritage stripes.

I say do it!!!
