Re: how much did you get yours for?

I paid about 210 from black leather front and back from a 1997. Worth about $450 though.
----------
And yes, they will fit in the back. I will take some pictures for you. My interior is red and black seats that match the center console and dash. Looks really good.

Re: how much did you get yours for?

i just bought a full ebony leather set of seats from a 2001 Trans Am on ebay for $700. In very good condition, sets just like this one usually go for $650 to $750. Seats from the LT1 cars are cheaper than from LS1 cars.. and ofcourse Leather is more than Cloth. The ebony color is the most desirable and most expensive, outside of the white leather anniversary car seats. And Trans Am seats tend to go for more than Z28 ones too.

Re: how much did you get yours for?

If I could do it over, I would not get the 1996, the headrests are really big and hard.

Re: how much did you get yours for?

well see now i'm looking for something that like the headrest is a separate piece instead of it being just a piece of the seat if that makes any sense to you guys at all....like i want the headrest to be movable like on my 87 trans' stock seats....but i cant seem to find any 4th gens like that

Re: how much did you get yours for?

I really want some 4th gen seats but I'm not going to pay 600 buck for them. I'll wait till I see some at the junkyard, there only 10 bucks a seat

Re: how much did you get yours for?

I think I got a steal on the seats that I bought for my girlfriend's birthday. I got her tan leather '00 Trans Am seats, power driver seat, lumbar on both driver and passenger. Came with the wires and air tubes for both. The seats had been in the car for 40,000 miles, and the rear seats rarely held passengers.

Long story short, I got a near mint set of leather T/A seats for $150

No 4th gens came with red interior. That was a 3rd gen '80's thing.

Re: how much did you get yours for?

they come in gray. look on ebay motors and you'll see what's out there. Generall the gray go cheaper too since most people want black. Don't expect to find very good condition 4th gen seats for $10 each though.... you'll have to hit the cheapest junkyard in town every week for 5 years to come across anything close to that.

I paid $40 for the front and back seats, Yes its all a direct bolt in so the back seats would fit.
Heres a pic..

They are in okay condition. And they came out of a smashed '97 camaro 30th edition with 110,000 miles.
