Olson82Firebird

I just bought an 82 firebird with no interior. I'm looking for seats and really like the idea of vinyl seats instead of cloth because they are easier to clean and I think they look better. However, it's a t-top car andas a feeling that rhe the seats would get extremely hot during the summer.

Has anyone put vinyl seats in a t-top car and had issues with them becoming too hot?

I've had them in a few t top cars and yes they get hot but are very nice and easy to clean. I say get some t top sunshade for when it's in the elements and enjoy! I hate my current cloth seats i do plan to change them out for some GTA seats or 4th gens.

If you have t-tops, you need shades, if for no other reason than to keep your interior from fading. If you don't feel like shelling out $100+ for shades that probably won't match your current headliner anyway, I've had good luck with this stuff, blocks out nearly all the incoming sunlight, and doesn't look terrible.

Could just take the tops to a tint shop, probably pretty cheap to have some limo or tint put on.

You can find Vinyl OE seats for a thirdgen. I had a set that I sold a few years ago. Fourthgen vinyl/leatherette seats will also bolt in.
