Suggestions where to buy replacement upholstery for 3rd gen? Wanting factory or close to factory look.
Need carpet, headliner, front and rear seats, and rear carpet section,
Does Rock Auto have replacement seat covers that match OEM seats?
I want to get covers that match the Black OEM seats in my 1987 IROC. There's no actual pics on their site.

The carpet and headliners will be pretty close to the factory, but as for the seats that is going to depend on which ones you have. 1987 was a goofy one year only for the deluxe interior and i haven't been able to find the correct one as of yet.
This is the deluxe.
As for the standard interiors I believe you can get pretty close to those by going with RockAuto, Hawks, and Year One.
That picture is the Interior Seats I want the covers for only Black.
So there are considered the "deluxe" seats and the covers are hard to get for them?
Good to know PMD thanks for the correction. Everywhere I've looked they have been called "Deluxe Cloth". From what I've heard the color is correct, but the fabric isn't the same as what came from the factory. It has more of a plush feel then a "tweed" or woven feel like the original did.
The issue I have is that my rear seats are in great condition, but the fronts are heavily stained and torn to the point they can't be repaired. I would hate to spend the $500 for a set from Classic Industries, or some other supplier, and not have it fit or feel like the originals.
I am looking to get the seats done this winter and if I can't find a set by then I guess I'll have to have some custom made.
If you want to go that route it's expensive. Another member here just duplicated a 1987 interior, completely with NOS materials sourced from SMS https://www.smsautofabrics.com/ had the covers reproduced, including the embroydery and had them installed for well in excess of $3000! The car was worth it and it was the right thing to do in that case so he did it.
Personally I've been buying better & better sets of the grey custom cloth for my car for two years now (have 4 sets of fronts) and finally have a set that I will likely use. The alternative for me is to buy a car with a great interior, swap everything over, install the set I don't want in the car and sell it. Here, the cost of the interior would be whatever I end up losing on the car I sell - if anything.
I'm not looking for a 100% perfect restoration since my car doesn't have the original motor or trans, but if I can get close then I'll be happy.
Here is the driver's compared to one of the lower rear seats. The front has actually been cleaned, but has been sitting in the garage and is dirty again.

I'll sell them to you but I really don't want to deal with shipping them and I definitely don't want to deal with that moment when expectations & reality either meet or collide.
I prefer that with things like this where opinions are subjective that people come & see them themselves, we talk about the condition and agree or disagree on price. Much safer for everyone that way.
