almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

all of the new seats are now in and all that is left is putting in the new carpet in the rear cargo area and reinstalling the sterio system. I am real happy with how it is looking! Here are some before, during and after pictures
ENJOY! let me know what you all think.


As you can see, the seats were in pretty rough shape. The tan carpet was stained pretty bad too.



AND NOW

WOW! The new look is a million times better. I like the touch of black too! Before, the interior looked like a big toffee bar.

I'm not a huge fan of the two-tone, but overall it looks very nice.

Seats are fantastic! You make those or are they aftermarket? I'd love to replace mine with those ones that's for sure.

Amazing. I love the new look. I'm with everyone else, where did you get those seats? I've been looking for a good 2 tone black and tan seat to replace my 22 year old worn out ones.

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

Thank you for all of the compliments!!! For all of the questions,
They are the orignal Trans am seats, I just had them recovered at a local shop. It was more expensive then just getting the replacement covers, but look at the outcome. I pretty much so have it all done now including the rear cargo area. The sterio is all back in too. Now just waiting for it to warm up and get her out on the road Again for all of the comments.

How much did you end up paying to have them recovered? Did you have the foam replaced too?

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

wow. I'll have to find a good place to do mine. I was thinking about getting some tan and black leather seats from a 4th gen. But if I can find a shop to do that nice of a job I'd pay it.

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

absolutely an amazing job man, that is one bad *** looking interior. Did you know how you wanted it to look or did you let the upholstery shop come up with the design? In my opinion with your interior looking like that, that is $1g well damn spent.

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

Wow! That is awesome! I spent about $400 for plain velour seat covers and recovered mine myself. Although my seats look much better than they did before, I'm not necessarily impressed with them. For a grand, I think it would be well worth having the seats recovered to look like yours (not to mention my hands and patience are still recovering from getting all of those stupid hog rings clipped in place).

Great job!

I am lucky enough to live near a few pick a parts so I just pull what I need from there. I think that I would start with the carpet and then the seats. I just ordered a complete carpet set from Hawks ($260) but I see you can find it much cheaper if you call around a little. Seats are next so will have to get back to you on that.
Also try classic industries.

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

The price you mentioned, a little over a grand, was that with the carpet or just the upholstery? How much did everything cost including parts and labor? thanks, looks great.

u see guys!!! U GET WHAT U PAY FOR.
this is a perfect example of that. so many of us get annsy and just want something done,that we will start to try and justify us wanting to go the cheap route. why? when u can have that. be patient and save,save,save.

i am happy for u,as i'm sure all of us are. nice job.

Re: almost done!!! Check out the new interior pictures!!

Nice interior. Personally, I hate leather. But it just looks so right on those GTA seats!

Another thing I would do if I were you, is take the plastic Center console lid, and cover over the vinyl with some new black leather to match the seats. Trust me, if they can get it shrunk right, it would look killer!
