I would much rather take the cloth seats over the so called 'leather' ones in the F-Bodies and W-Bodies [Grand Prixs] ... Now if you could fit those Lexus GS 450 heated leather seats in TAs and 'Maros...

Anyways, Great job OP!!

I need a ebony headliner. Also I have stock 97 camaro interior its kinda between grey and black and its ugly. Like it cant decide which to be. Is the cloth different colors than an ebony interior car or is it just tghe plastic parts.
I still need the headlineer though.

The cloth seats are slightly lighter, but it matches good. What accents do you guys think it needs? Heres what I was thinking


White faced gauges and T/A benzle
White Hurst SixSpeed Q-ball ( have the black one now )
White 5'' Tach w/ Shift light
White faced Auto meter N20 Pressure gauge in the center vent of the dash...

I agree ebony or the charcoal > tan. I don't know why they made the tan interior. Also I've got a white hurst Q ball for our cars at home still in the box. I"ll let you have for 1/2 what you have to pay for a new one.

The headliner was the hardest thing to do, the cardboard is so flimsy I had to be super careful not to break it.. Thanks guys.

Very nice. I was thinking about doing the same thing only having my seats done in Corvette red leather. Tan interior is kinda blah but I've learned to live with it.
