Interior Opinions please...w/in I'm debating what I want to do with my interior. It's a 2002 Z28 with ebony cloth, with the lovely tiger stripe centers...
Everything I have changed/done to the car to date, can be swapped back to stock within an hour. I did this with the intent that I could always convert it back to stock if I ever chose to, since it is the last production year.
I got some prices yesterday from a very reputable interior shop to do the centers of my seats in a medium pewter cloth (GM Chevy material, just not Camaro material) to match my Pewter paint. Basically, it'd look sorta like a 35th Anniversary Edition SS seat, but it would be all cloth, with all factory stitching remaining.
The dilemma is, if I do this, it's permanent, and I can't swap it back. I know alot of you guys bought these cars for the performance aspect, but does anyone think that a 2002 Z28 will actually have any collector value one day? In other words, should I do this, or leave it alone and stick to stuff that I could easily swap back?

Re: Interior Opinions please...w/in Cool idea. For changing back to stock, get a spare set of seat covers. Or another idea is to find a set of seats off the classifieds. Then save the original seats and modify the "used" ones.
I think it will look

Re: Interior Opinions please...w/in Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure it will come out looking good. Quick question, what was the price you were given. I've been debating about this idea also but I'd prob go with leather.

Re: Interior Opinions please...w/in Xsta - Good idea, but I don't have space for a spare set of seats...already got wheels I have no room for 
I also can't see buying another set of the seats I don't like...it's more a matter of "do it and lose originality or leave it and keep originality"...
MadIce - For the cloth I got a price of $200 each for the fronts and $300 for the rear...

Re: Interior Opinions please...w/in Just my opinion... Make it the way you want it.
As far as a future "collector" car, I doubt it will be one any time soon. Look at some of the other cars that production was stopped, and then restarted a few years later down the road (GTO, T-Bird, Rustang, etc). No real collector car value on that last year car at all. At least no more than previous year cars.
Ron,
