Default Interior makeover
I have a 00 z28 MMM. The interior has seen better days. It's beige leather, carpets dirty, seats torn and the previous owner was a smoker. I was thinking of redoing the whole interior. I was wondering where u guys get ur carpet, insulation (if needed) and aftermarket seats. I sat in a few seats but they didn't fit too good. I'm 5'6 w 30" waist and 48" shoulders. Thx in adv (will post pics along the way)

Seats I'd say 6le... I have wanted some for awhile but haven't got to that point. Rear seats not sure. As for carpet I found this thread with a couple companies.

my vote goes for corebeau seats.
You can also buy extra material to wrap your rear seats & door panels to match front eeats.

What's the price tag on a set of those? I was going an inexpensive route (that I knew of). Could be wrong tho they could be more cost effective.

Ok ok, yea 6le is around I think 4-500 a pair depending on cloth, synthetic leather, or real leather. But hopefully you find something that works for you.

The Summit Racing seats are pretty sweet. ESPECIALLY for the money!

I am in the process of recovering mine,

Its time consuming, but I am having fun and picking your own fabric/colors is cool.

I have a pair of these in my car. I'd say they are comfortable but my girlfriend says it's not. Either way it has a ton more lateral support than my stock TA seats.

How big are you? Height/weight? Are they lighter than stock seats?

No, I don't have them. I'm still suffering through the stock Camaro seats. I just looked at them online and thought they look sweet. They can't be any worse right?!
