I'm not a big fan of the gold trim, but it may look better in person than in the pics. I do like the look of the leather, and the 25th Anniversary in the headrest. They did a good job. Car is looking good.

I have gold emblems (nose, bumper & rockers, rims and license plate frame) so I was trying to tie the interior to the outside. I did not want too much gold or to look gaudy or ghetto. I think I made it and you are right - it does look good in person. Plus they added extra seat foam in the wear area on the drivers seat and both lumbar supports. You notice it right away when you sit in the seats. A definite improvement in looks and comfort. Now if I can just figure out how to get a power seat track on the passenger seat.

Re: Power seats recovered and back in...pics here...

Only $800!!!!!!!! WOW dude I would say that you really got a steal. While I'm not a big fan of the gold I think you were able to pull it off really well. I've priced around and got quotes from $500-&800 for just my seats, and that is deffinatly not leather. Do your wheels also have the gold trim?

Yes my wheels have the gold trim. I have two sets of wheels ...91-92 Z28's and the 85 IROCs...both in Gold...polished....hence the gold trim on the inside

I love black leather seats and the 25th on them looks sick.

Yeah I'd say you got a heck of a deal for all they did. Hurry and make other car decisions while the planets are aligned!

Re: Power seats recovered and back in...pics here...

looks old school and very sporty
but i do not think it is leather.I do upholstery and the shade of the material along with the grain makes me believe it is a leatherette.
but even if it is a leatherette,800 for what was done is still a steal.

Old school and sporty...exactley the look I was going for.

Not sure to the actual details of the material. I know when we took the OEM's apart they was a lot of vinyl on seats that were sold as all leather. I will never believe the dealership again...LOL

If my material is leatherette as you say it is very, very thick, soft, pliable and easy to clean. I believe he told me it was leather but if not I am happy with whatever the material is. The price was a steal.

As long as it last a long time, looks good, does not crack or fade I will be happy.

Sorry- don't like the door panels. Look cheap and featureless... seats look pretty good though. Smokey and the Bandit would did it too...

Actually the door panels look pretty good. Maybe it is one of those things that don't come across great in pictures. I like the "all" blackness with just the gold piping to match the seats. I didn't want any wording in the panels and I did not want the panels to be the "superstar" of the interior - that's the seats role. Actually the panels have every stich, cut and angle of the original door panels, just in all black.
