I am going to be replacing the seat covers and carpet in my GTA this winter. It is an '87 GTA so it has a specific color of tan that is diffrent from any other year from what I understand. Does anyone know exactly what color I need to order for both the seats and the carpet to get as close to a match as possible? It doesn't really matter who I order from, board sponsors are my first choice, but I will order from anyone. Either cloth or leather for the seats, whichever can get a closer color. So, who has had the swatches or knows which replacement color is correct?

 

According to the Parts & Illustration Catalogs you should have the following RPO's:

AQ9 - indicates Lear Sigilar seats.
62D or 62E - "62" Indicates color D or E would be the application.

Color 62 is Lt. Saddle / Medium Lt Saddle...

Lt Saddle was used from 1985 - 1987

Hope that helps.

That kinda helps, assuming I can find a color cross refrence somewhere. I am hoping someone who has done new carpet and seat covers can give me the replacement color code they used for a specific manufaturer that they know matches.

Hawks has Hampton Vinyl in a saddle for seat covers, but they only have medium doeskin,medium beige, camel, and sandlewood for the carpet.

I was able to get the carpet from Car motorsports. The quality is great, better than original. Call them and ask them to send you a carpet sample the same color as the carpet the guy with the Russet GTA bought. They'll remember me.

 

How was the fit, was there trimming, or did it just fit into place???

Watching this post. In same situation with my carmine interior. Hope we get some info.

 

I installed the Car Pro Motorsports carpet in my Formula a few months ago. Color was custom to coordinate my stock camel interior with tan 4th gen leather seats. I got the set with the rubber backing like OEM. The overall quality of the materials and fit was very good. It was obviously molded from a 3rd gen floor pan as everything lined up well. The only thing I noticed is that the heel pads molded into the drivers side footwell were not in the exact same location as the original carpet. OEM was a little better but it's not objectionable. The carpet is shipped oversize; you have to cut the holes for the shifter, ebrake, seat belt bolts, power seat harness, and rear seat tiedowns and trim all the sides to fit. I saved the original carpet as a pattern and used chalk to mark the areas to cut. I'm very satisfied with the end result.

 

How much was the carpet from Car?

 

I paid $250 + S & H for the interior and cargo compartment. I went with the standard backing though to save weight.
