Just picked up new seats!!

Just picked up black leather seats out of a 2000 SS, seen these on ebay anywhere from 500-900 got the whole set for 300, and the guy only lived 10 mins away. I should be ordering the new carpet in a week or so, still looking for a 6 speed console from a 98-02, already got the ebony door panels to match.

Re: Just picked up new seats!!

@torque_is_good - your seat looks great.

Is it custom or a seat upholstery kit?

cookie21,

Why a 98-02 console? Is it better than any other 4th Gen?

Re: Just picked up new seats!!

er' i bought some 4th gen seats. I should have just paid for some Sparco seats from the get go. Definitely not satisfied. You however, did get a great deal... those seats look really clean.

Yes. Actually the better console was used from 1997-02. The later design console opened up from the side instead of the front, putting a LOT less stress on the hinge, and therefore you see a lot less of the later ones with broken or missing hinges. The later ones also have a very usable cupholder that flips out from the side (the center mounted cupholder is useless in 6 spd cars as your drink gets in the way of your arm when shifting gears).

i like the extra cupholders in the 98-02 console as well, got a great deal on the console from a board member parting a 99Z28.
