'00-'02 Firebird Interior Question Pt. II (Grey Cloth?) Does anyone here have an '00-'02 Firebird/Formula/Trans Am with a CLOTH dark GREY interior, NOT ebony?
I've researched A LOT lately, and it seems that all I can come up with is that the '00-'02 Firebird lines were only available with 2 color interiors: Ebony and Taupe (Tan) in both leather and cloth. However, I'm beginning to suspect that the dark grey cloth was available as well.
Here's what I know:
1) I recently purchased CLOTH '00 Trans Am seats that have the "rainbow" pattern in the cloth that is supposed to be for the '00-'02 only ('97-'99 seats aren't supposed to have the "rainbow" coloring in the cloth), but the seats are grey, NOT ebony...of course CLOTH isn't supposed to be an option for the TA's either, so it COULD have been a Formula.
2) I recently purchased an EBONY cloth seat from an '02 and when it arrived, it did NOT match the dark grey cloth '00 seats.
3) The same seller that sold me the ebony seat says he has a grey one in the same pattern also from an '02. I've sent the ebony one back and he's going to exchange them for me, but dark grey isn't supposed to have been a color option in '02.
SO, can anyone confirm that dark grey cloth WAS an option for the '00-'02 Firebirds?

After downloading the Firebird parts manual, I can now confirm that the '00-'02 EBONY CLOTH interior IS different from the '97-'99 Dark Grey interior. The '97-'99 carry the same seat cover parts #'s and then the '00-'02's carry same part #'s for those 3 years as well. The EBONY interior IS darker than the dark grey, and I've seen them compared side by side now as well.
