Default interior help!

i want to redo my interior, called a place got a quote from the best in the area, 3000 bucks to redo it, i can do the carpet and everything myself except upholster the seats, and my question is, would corvette seats work in a 00 camaro? i want a more solid racing seat without getting an actual racing seat, then ill just have them reupholster the seats and ill do the rest.

Arizen Racing has some very nice, tasteful looking racing seats. You can get a seat heater in them as well! They resemble Recarro racing seats but are about half the price. The best part about Arizen, at least in my opinion, is that you can also get your backseats reupholstered to match the color pattern you got on your fronts for a less than one front seat. Run a search on google for Arizen Racing Seats as I can't post the non-sponsor link.

I have a NBM camaro that I re-upholstered my seats in, I think it turned out great and it only cost me around $200 for my complete interior. I Will get pics up sometime. the seats are black with navy blue inserts and z/28 embroiderd on the headrests.

You redid your entire interior for $200? What all did that include and where'd you get the stuff. I have the charcoal gray right now, but really want ebony. I think the charcoal gray looks like faded ebony and would love to change it, but thought it would much more costly.

You can make any of the seats fit with your automatic adjustments. You just have to make a custom bracket to mount the aftermarket seat to the seat adjustment mount.

if you want a seat that works well for racing, get the TA seats. With bolster enhancements they are far superior to the Corvette seats! The bolstering on mine rocks! Holds very very well in the corners.









A lot of the wrinkles in the hides have flattened out now.


Seriously dude, i've ridden in the Vette seats (C5 and C6) and they don't hold like my seats.
