Sooooo... my '91 Trans Am GTA is currently in the process of getting a complete makeover. It's currently in the body shop getting a new black paint job, and I'll start on the interior as soon as I get the car back... hopefully in the next 3 weeks. The current interior color is black. I love black interiors, but I also have a very deep passion for black cars with tan interior. Needless to say, I'm changing the interior in my car to '88 - '91 Beechwood tan.

I purchased all of the plastic panels and seats needed for this transformation over a year ago. I've already purchased brand new carpets, and I just received my new leather skins from Katzkin. I'll start shopping around next week for a quality upholstery shop to do the leather swap for me. Anyhoooo... here's a crappy photo I took of them a little while ago.

 

Those look pretty nice man! Congrats!

 

Taking off the old and putting new covers on is easy ......you need hog rings and hog pliers..eastwood should have them....Where I work we did all the new 2010/2011 and some of the 2012 jeep wranglers..all the seat covers came from Katzkin ...it was all part of the Mopar up greads that we use to do.... great product...When I get to that point that's where I'm getting mine from.....and lots of tv shows have had step by step to show how its done...The best I seen was Stacy David's gears...They put katzkin in a new dodge truck... They're pretty much all the same to put in....I my self have only done this a few times....

But how much was the Katzkin seat covers for your car??????

 

Thank you, sir.

I would do the job myself, but I don't have the patience or the time to tackle anything like that. Another reason why I'd rather let a pro handle this is, unlike the new seats you were working with, foam may need to be added in certain areas to make the leather have a tight factory fit since the seats I'm working with are pretty old in comparison to factory new seats. I paid $950 for my set.

 

True the jeeps have maybe 1 mile on them...at work I drive a lift 6 days a week..I have only helped at work for the curiosity....I had a car back in the day... with power seats...I found better looking seats in the junk yard...( not power ) ...so I changed them around...and I have worked in a upholstery shop called ev's hear in Toledo....
But good luck they do look good ...and $950 ..I would pay that...not to bad..

Thanks, Luis! I can't wait to get it all done. The '97 you're talking about... this one?







This is my girl, 'Raven'. I purchased her brand new back in 1997.

 

Nice, I like the leather. Fair price for leather, the set I was eyeing up was $1300, has the GTA embroidered on headrest ...

Please post some pics when done.

These were the ones I saw.

 

they are a bit too expensive for my blood

 

I saw those on eBay.

 

...

 

i see the listing on ebay how do they fit

 

Thank you, sir.

 

Dunno yet - still thinking about it.
Theres really no tears in my cloth seats, just a bit faded. Still on the fence, need other things before seats covers. Can't wait though.

 

how are the qualities of the seats

 

Katzkin's leather is far more superior to the factory leather hides that came with these cars.

 

where did you buy your covers from?
