It depends, if you want your seat to be cloth or leather. If you're thinking of leather go with Z06 seats . I saw them on a T/A they look amazing.

Depends what you're looking to spend. I would say grab a set of stock seats in your preferred color. That will probably be cheapest. The sky is the limit from there $$ wise.

I have tan as well. I don't mind it since it's relatively light, and there's good contrast with the black dash and half-black door panels. Plus it's different, everything new out there nowadays is gray or graphite. My Olds is Adriatic blue!

I said that about tan because it really doesn't compare, IMO, to a black or charcoal... Now, when not comparing it tan can look nice. My 1994 Z28 had tan interior and it was mint. I thought it looked great... Then I got in my friend's 1995 Z28 with that charcoal grey and it just made the interior feel like the friggin batcave and I loved it!

I converted my 1994 Z to the dark grey... To each his own

I've been there.... converted two cars to graphite leather. Then I just wanted a change so.... here I sit. One day if I get lucky at the boneyard, I'll change my car over to a charcoal or black, since it's pretty easy on these cars.
