Installed new seats/interior yesterday...

Bought some 4th gen black leather seats and a new carpet from ACC. The photos make the colors look a little goofy.

Very clean car. The new seats match very well with the carpet (I'm sure the colors are better in person). I too have a new interior going in. If only those dang wiring harnesses will come in

A word of advice: Take that triangle filter off that car. I've heard stories of it falling apart/melting and have recently seen it happen. A buddy of mine with a 351w 1979 Mustang had that same filter crumble into his engine. It still doesn't run the same. It took weeks for it to blow it all out and it'll take a rebuild to get the rest out. I (and many others) would hate to see a perfect IROC-Z convertible ruined because of a craptacular filter.

How much did it cost you for the seats?

The floormats are from www.1aauto.com and they are standard ACC floormats with the embroidery logo - since the car is black on black I figured the mats should be too.

The seats were $400 from a guy who had a 95 Z28 with 60k miles and a blown engine - he was parting out the whole car to make a few grand. The entry/exit sections of the leather were a bit worn, so I had an upholsterer replace those sections with new ones for $150. Now they look and feel brand new.

The new interior changes the appearance quite a bit, but what's really cool is driving it now - it really feels like a newer car when you sit behind the wheel. The whole job was worth all the sweat (it was 92 degrees that day).
