Default T/A vs Camaro leather seats - good looking mix/match?

Just bought a set of T/A fronts for the SS and
now I'm wondering whether they will look right
with keeping the Camaro leather back seat, or
if I need to go find a T/A rear seat to not
look dorky. Anyone who's swapped in T/A seats
and knows this? Should see the fronts sometime
next week, just wondering meanwhile.

'course if anybody just happens to have an ebony
T/A rear set out of a convertible that's needing
adoption, you let me know....

They will be close. The best way to describe it is the "arch" at the top of the seat insert fron to back is different from a TA to a Camaro. The leather on the TA seats (at least mine were) a slightly different grain. The one thing I never liked abount the TA rear seat is the seat back there is no "insert" the ribbs of the seat just flow over the back

I wound up recovering my seats, but that was mainly due to me being to impatient to wait to the right color seats. I really like my TA seats!

I went for the older TA seats with a Katzkin kit:




If the TA seats are from the same year they will go great with the camaro rear seat.

Damn, those seats look comfortable. Any place you can just buy the seats? The seats in my Formula are pretty worn out

I got mine off someone on this site.

Here's a link to a salvage yard with a good selection:

I got mine from a local wrecking yard. $600 for all four seats and the seat belts. Not bad for power leather seats with power lumbar and side bolsters for both driver and passenger.

What wrecking yard did you go to? I live in Chicago and I am also looking for leather seats, just not sure where to start my search!

I got TransAm seats for my car today!
They look good, and are more comfy!
