Hey Guys

Trying to figure out a good combo for a white Trans am with gold ground effects. I have looked through many photos including the "White Thirdgens" thread on here but most pics are of the outside of the car (duh) focising on the body color. If anyone has some overviews that show the interior color well along with the White/Gold body (or even white) I would greatly appreciate you posting them. Hard to visualize anything other than the tan interior that I have seen (car currently is a shell with no interior to start with).

Thanks in advance

 

I like black interiors in any car.
Here's some eye candy made by IMHO the best there is.

Saddle tan, used 85-87, as a vote.

Really, if you run into the right donor car that has everything, you can't go wrong with the later year shades of tan.

 

GET THE RPO CODE AND SEE WHAT IT CAME WITH AND GO FROM THERE

 

Car came with tan interior based on the records I have from PHS but the car is a rolling shell so I am debating whether to find a tan interior or a different color since I need the entire interior.

 

I think any color would go with White.here's my interior,Carmine Red in my White TA.

 

BLACK!

I like either tan or red. Both look great on white. Blue works too, although I'd still go tan or red.

 

dmccain and mantaguy:

Any pictures from outside the car? Kind of like what you would see walking up to it at a show if that makes sense. Thats the kind of angle I'd love to see to help make the decision, all the pics I have are tan interiors from the shows lol

 

Paint the gfx body color and use gray. Gray is by far the most common interior color, it's the most consistent from year to year, Camaro to Firebird, and it's affordable.

I think a black interior would look great in a white w/gold Trans Am, and it would give the car a touch of the classic black-n-gold Trans Am color scheme. And for a custom touch, do tan inserts in the black seats(like where it's gray in mantaguy's seats, shown in his pic above), and it will pull it all together, as well as accent the classic scheme even more.

 

tan and black seats... now theres a thought for the future

 

I love it!

Maybe it's because I grew up a Cardinals fan.

 

I'll second that. Tan interiors on the white or polo green trans ams looks great, especially the convertibles.

 

 

Leaning towards getting a tan interior to put in the car and I know there are 3 iterations of tan colors 82-84, 85-87, and 88+ . What are the color differences between the 3? Not names but the shades, i.e. lighter/ darker than the others.

 

With gold ground effects, I can only think of tan as a good interior color, so it's the right choice.

Too many colors would be odd, and black and grey are the easy/tasteless choice.

As for the difference, from what I could see on pictures, the 82-84 Camel Tan is brighter than the later ones which look a little darker.

 

The darkest is the 88+ Medium Beechwood. Almost a caramel peanut buttery color. Which is my fave

 

Me personally, I've never seen a White TA with Gold Ground Effects.

 

It was fairly common on 84-85 models

 

They look nice.

 

So I found out that the parts we have from a donor car are not the same white as the car is now so i am looking at the prospect of painting the car with the good body parts on it so everything matches. I think we are going to be going with the grey/black parts we already have and possibly pick up a tan interior in the future.

 

If you are starting completely from scratch and have no vested interest in any color, I'd say go a completely different route and pay homage to the earlier Firebirds by using a Blue interior. I think it'd look pretty bitchin' and make your car different from other thirdgens.

 

I have a 1985 white trans am with gold trim exactly like the picture, my interior is carmine red if that helps. I know this is an old post, but that's what I have!

 

 

I was going to vote gray (for the reasons Drew listed) and then I saw the pics of the blue interiors. Blue would be really cool.
I have no idea what blue would cost...
Gray is still my second choice.

Black has a place on the dashboard (to minimize your dash reflecting in the windshield) and I don't like it anywhere else in the car.

 

My 86 Camaro was white with carmine interior. When we painted the car I went with a Pearl White. Combination looks good IMOP. I haven't recovered the seats yet, but did respray the Carmine interior panels.

Found that out the hard way after I bought my '92 T/A. Its just enough different to make it a pain in the butt to find replacement parts.

 

If I had a white Firebird, I would do it. I think it'd look really bitchin' and make it look pretty unique for a thirdgen.

 

Just in case you were seriously considering going with blue interior, I came across these little nuggets:

Thought they were interesting. I'd never seen the plastic rear interior screws in blue before.
