Great price! My '96 Z came with black leather, so I was happy with what I got the car for

Im sorry, all in all it looks good but why swap to TA seats instead of saving a little cash and getting something that to me personally looks better.

Not trying to bash again it looks good im just not a fan of the TA seats, but why do it?

TA seats are more comfortable than Camaro seats. Camaro seats just don't fit me right anyway I adjust them.

For the money I had vs what I wanted to spend these came in as the winner.I understand what your saying, but these weren't worn out, are still in good condition(drivers even has a new backrest cover which cost the guy more than I paid for the seats, so he lost $100) , and were an "upgrade" compared to the old ones, even if they aren't real leather... My old drivers seat recline handle rubbed my hip when I sat in the old seat, so I thought well for $200 this is much better
What seats would you have put in the car? If heated and cooled leather wrapped racing buckets were $200 I would have gotten them. I normally don't like buying 'inferior" or "cheap" things for my car (or anything for that matter) but for the extent of just driving around they will suffice.

Having to spend money on other things (like a kid) doesn't free up mod money fast enough....hell if I just had her babysitter money each month that would be an extra $400, not to mention what she eats and uses in throw away products.
All in all I didn't want to dump a ton of money into any one area of the car but spread it all around, except when It is going to come to paint and engine, then I'll have to cough up some dough....

If i have a chance at getting both front and rear seats out of a trans am for 200 in black leather should I jump for it? Was thinking about offering them 150 for just fronts. But guess I didn't think about changing the rears too. Should I go for both front and rear?

i changed my seats in my TA to custom leather with swade inserts and a red stitch so i have some rear seats if ya want them. they are cloth but i mean they have really good foam since i only have 30,xxx miles ill sell ya the front ones to if your interested. not saying you need to buy any thing. just food for thought.

like the conversion in yours though. looking good.
