the doors were the biggest pain, ( too much plastic welding and the panels have a kind of wierd design) they are not aftermarket seat covers, they were stock cloth seats from a 93 camaro and I made entire new covers for them.
I had planned to make the backs solid black, but by the time I was ready to start on the backs I was just short on black material so I had to get them done some how, it actually looks Ok in person.

the material came from an upholstry wholsale place, you need an account to order from them. I can get any color/material you could ever want. I went with the old school z/28 because I planned on putting the old Camaro badges on the door panel insert but then I became unsure if I wanted it. I may be redoing these seats this spring/summer if I am not too busy.
The trans am door panels are A Lot easier to do inserts on. I may be buying some TA door panels and trying to do something with them, so let me know any cool ideas/colors you would like to see.
It would be very difficult to do a write up on this. I had to go to school to learn how to do this and there is still quite a bit I need to learn.
please feel free to ask any more questions or just leave general opinions on how you like the seats, or how I could have made them better

it really looks good for a DIY job, but the embroydery is too large IMO. i want to do something similar, but it would be smaller size Z/28 logos.
very good job tho.
