Look what I just got!!! Great Deal.

I just got some black leather 4th gen seats from a '96 firebird. These will be going in my firebird with red interior. Should look good because there is black on the dash and dash pad. What do you guys think?

Hard to tell. They look a bit rough to me, though a simple cleaning may be all they require.

Re: Look what I just got!!! Great Deal.

Hey, with a good cleaning they should be great! How much was shipping? Either way good leather seats have run as high as 400-500.00. So.... yes GREAT DEAL! Myself, I opted for cloth 4th gen Camaro seats and 98 Trans am console...should finish installing them soon.... may have pics later..... I like the comfort that the 4th gens seem to have over the 3rd gens...

Re: Look what I just got!!! Great Deal.

I think it really depends on preference in seats.... Mine 3rd gen seats were worn out but, I like the way these camaro seats hug my body.... sounds corny dont it? But anyway its preference I think

Okay, sounds good. I heard it is easier to put in a 4 gen manual into a thirdgen auto. Let me know how your swap goes. Thanks

Re: Look what I just got!!! Great Deal.

Hey, I got my seats from that same guy! I got raped on shipping though, I think I paid 250 for my seats, (black leather BMW seats with about 18K on 'em) but 160 for shipping. Seemed kind of high because they were only 3 hours away and that wasn't even shipped to my house. Looks like they need to be cleaned real good too just like mine

Re: Look what I just got!!! Great Deal.

I went to the melbourne location by my house and got a 98 trans am console for $40.00,and when we were heading back to the office i spotted a 90 gta which is odd because they only deal with new cars at LKQ but the car was a 80,000 mile car in great shape so they kept it and the guy sold me the dash pad for $60.00 and the t-top bag for $25.00 and both of them are in great shape with no scratches,tears or cracks this is by far the softest dash pad i have ever seen i always thought that they were a hard plastic i never realized how soft they were,plus he gave me the radio bezel for free!!! those guys are great and i highly recomend them to everyone
