The interior was around $3k. It is all custom since it used to be cloth.

Very Nice. You need to bring the car to the Third Gen Christmas Dinner at Rickies and Ronnies so we can all have a look see. Let me know where you got the leather seats done. I need the upper part of my GTA drivers side seat redone.

i'm not too sure about the flames, generally i don't approve of flames on birds. but the paint job itself is amazing

I had the paint done at Jazz Auto Body in Stanton, CA.
It was $3500 for the paint, pinstriping, and wetsand.
There is zero orange peel and no flaws anywhere, very happy with his work.

The paint looks sick but not so much on a bird.. im my opinion they look nasty in one color or with the silver gfx. the seats look nice i like the bird on the headrest. Great Bird

I don't know if it is a seat kit. Fortunately me for me, the guy I bought it from had the seats done right before I bought it, saving me some $$$.

He said the shop custom did it for him, but I can't say for sure.

I agree the flames may be better suited for old cars, but living in Southern California there are very few cars on the road older than 5 years so my car is quite vintage here and the flames do quite well relatively speaking
