4th gen seats and finished interior pics inside
I finally got the interior done. I changed everything from doeskin tan to gray and graphite. I don't know how much more comfy the new TA seats are, but even the Camaro seats are a big improvement.

Impressive - looks better than I thought it would.
1) Where did you get the seats?
2) You mind telling what you paid?
3) Were they straight bolt-ins?
I need new seats, and I like this as an option.

:rockon: That looks flat out awesome!!! I want some TA seats for mine, but $700 is a lot of money. Is that really the average price 4th gen leather seats go for? I know someone (is it NoSaint?) has 91 Corvette seats he paid $600 for that look great. Also expensive...

Sharon,
Are all of the interior pieces new or did you get some used? If some were used, what years did you get them out of? Your car looks outstanding and your interior is what I would like to copy (if you don't mind). Also, what do you think of the comfort of the seats? I am 6'3" and the stock seats in my car put my butt to sleep on long drives (over 40 minutes).
Thanks !
Mark

Absolutely Gorgeous!!
I don't feel so bad now paying $100 for mine. However, they are not leather.
Nice car!!
I was looking through your site and I was very impressed with how clean and "new" looking your car is.
-Did you get new carpet for your car? If so where? I need a new set in Charcoal grey.
excellent looking car!

Billsfirebird, those look really nice. I'm a little sold on the idea of leather (although I am concerned with the idea of females getting burned on hot black leather when wearing a miniskirt in the summer...), but I like the color scheme. Kinda like a new ZO6!
BTW, Steve, when you say $400-800 are you talking about just for the front seats or the back too... or do 4th gen rear seats even fit our cars. It seems that they should. Anyways, are the back seats extra? In my car, they look to be in worse shape than in the front; I have no idea how they could wear faster...

Thanks for the compliments.
billsfirebird - My new carpet was from 1Aautomotive. They usually knock a couple of $ off their regular prices on Ebay.
wiggy'sIROC - all the plastic and door panels came out of a 91 GTA. Before it was wrecked, it seemed like a well cared-for car. The new seats sit a slight bit higher, probably because of the power stuff underneath, that the old seats didn't have. The new seats are 100x better than the old ones, but still might lack a little support under the backs of the thighs (but that's knitpicking).
TELLEZ - the carpet was custom matched to blend the medium gray door panels to the graphite seats. 1A sent me 3 samples to choose from. The headliner is closer to graphite, only because the headliner shop where I went couldn't match the medium gray.

I got these from a small Paint and Body shop out in the country. A little town called Owensburg. A speck on a map.
These came directly from the 93 Camaro. I didn't recover them with the red and charcoal this is how they came from the factory. I have had a lot of people ask me if they are a custom job. I would like to think so but NOPE. They are stock.
The place also had a 93 Z28 with the exact same color scheme seats. So I that makes me think that they were factory.

Thanks for the info, Steve. $400 for all four seats is good, but $800 is a little steep. Well, it is for me, anyway. I love your interior dude, but two questions:
1) Are those gauges in the cowel of the hood... It's hard to see, but it looks like a powerbulge hood, maybe?
2) Are 4th gen seats really that comfortable? I've had many girls complain that my car just flat out isn't at all, period. I'd kinda like to remedy this...

Those seats look awesome.
I paid $600 for my set of Camaro SS Seats, 8K miles on the donor car they came out of.
I was being a nice guy and traded my SS seats for my brothers T/A seats and chrome 16x8 5 stars.
Here are the T/A seats,

...and those gauges are in the cowl like so...
The seats rock and are very comfortable - much more than the stockers that I removed. Highly recommended.

That looks great! I put a set of 2000 black leather ones in my 89 GTA . Paid 600.00 for the set. I am 6'1" and they are alot better than the stock set which also had 6 way power adjustments. Did you notice you set alittle higher with these seats?
