How are you going to put in a 4th gen console when you have a Berlinetta? or are you going to do a hack job with the stereo???

a 4th gen console in a camaro is possible, you just have to cut the old console and find a way to blend the 3rd gen radio pod with the 4th gen console

I'd say it would be cheaper to buy 4th gen seats then to redo yours in leather but I could be wrong.

4th gen seats can be found for an average of $200 for cloth and $400 for leather. (this is just average costs, some will say higher or lower)

I personally got a full set of cloth seats from TACreations for $200

It generally will cost anywhere from $500-$800+ to reapholster your original seats, not to mention dealing with the worn out support foam and the uncomfortable back support.

4th gen seats are my vote.
