i'd think you could make any new seats fit just by drilling new brackets into the floor but i might be wrong. about the steering wheel i have no clue. but ill be the first to say i'm proud of my stock fbody interior

Paint your interior your self its not hard, i would think to just drill holes in the brakets for the seats (whatever you use) will work, and im not so sure on the steering wheel but good luck.

iF you think about it, our interiors are pretty cool looking stock, most people that jump in my car just look around and stare. If anything just add a few touches here and there. Besides what looks betta than an fighter jet cockpit.

I've been thinking about getting some ebony seats from the GTO. I'd have to install the tracks to mount the seats, but if I can find a deal on some chairs I'm all in on that part.

*maybe* a carbon fiber interior theme... I don't know. It's Ok for now. I'd like to add some silver gauge faces and add the Firehawk script decal on the tach. Also I'd like to change the shifter know to a polished ball. Kind of like the Ferrari shifter. Hot sex.

I have done some simple things just to make my interior better. Minor painted peices in aluminum paint to just get rid of the cheap look I always complained about. I am very happy with it, and I think its all it needed.

I like the ferrari shifter also, I like the ignition switch on the dash also. I even like the switch on the left hand side of the column on the dash like Porsche, or in the console like in a Saab, but our console is to high up for that to look right.

I cant remember offhand if you "need" a new harness to plug in and make the power seats work off something like a Vette or GTO, so remember that it might not be just as simple as putting a new-track in.
