Pics of 4th Gen Trans Am Seats in 3rd Gen?

I have been looking at 4th Gen Camaro Seats in 3rd Gen Camaaro's but no 4th Gen Trans Am Seats in 3rd Gen Trans Am's. I'm trying to find some now for my car and want to know what it will look like. So please post your pics. Thanks

The Seats are from a Camaro I don't know about the car. Have you seen any 4th Gen Trans Am Seats? That's what I think I want.

You're right. 1996 Camaro seats in a 1991 Firebird. Sorry 'bout that.

Yea still looks great but thought Trans Am seats I would like better in my T/A. Have you seen the Trans Am seats? What they look like?

I put a front and rear 97 trans am seats in my 82 t/a. As soon as i get some pics developed, i will post them. They look exactly like the 4th gen seats posted above. Just imagine an 86 interior around those seats.

The red T/A is a Fourth Gen, not a third gen.

I really want to put a 96 Camaro interior in my 86 Trans Am. I love the instr. cluster in the pre-97 Camaro's. The 4th gen Trans Am's speedo and tach are too large, I like the small #'s in the Camaro's.

Chris

I am in Dallas and looking for someone in the area that might carry the fourth gen leather seats (preferrably Trans AM). Also, could you tell me the name of the yard in Tulsa with the seats.

I got a quote from a local junk yard in Illinois for an entire cloth interior from a 95 camaro for $500, that is not bad.
That includes the dash upper/lower, the seats front and rear, the door panels and the center console...
Now my question is are the climate controls for the 95 Cam the same as the 82-92?...Will they "Directly bolt in"???
Like the oil press guage...volt meter...gas gauge...temp gauge...speedo...(and most importantly) the Tach...

Has anyone here actually done this conversion or just posted pics of it?...If anyone has done it or know someone that has please reply to this.
