I really dont like the look of diamond plate inside the car but...im guessing its being put to some use? Seats look good, bolt in pretty easily?

I've got Black Suede Corbeaus similar to those and love them. I'm sure you will too. I went w/ the CR1 seat, but that seat looks great too. Very nicely done.

Bolt in was straight forward. A good 13mm gear wrench and a ton of patience helps. The seat brackets have limited access to the rear studs. Thus small hands and a flex head gear wrench will do the job nicely. Took about an 1 1/2 hrs to install. Orginal seats were previously removed.

Storage box was designed and built to fill the space left after removing the rear seat. Nice place to store items under lock and key.

Here's some better shots of the box and stereo set up.

I dont think the storage box would look bad if you covered it in carpeting

I actually think that storage box is cool, people cant bum rides off you and it makes up for your filled up trunk space.

Yea, the TA needs a good washing and interior cleaning. The door panels are mighty dusty. What time I've gotten to drive the car with the new seats is nice. For me they are much roomier than the stock seats. As far as interior mods. All interior lights were changed over to green leds (I've got a post here w/ those pictures), white guage needle kit, HU mount that has 'Trans AM' script, wired a PAX unit so the steering wheel controls work the radio, stereo speaker/amp upgrade, rear seat delete, aluminum instrument cluster bezel, Camaro SS guage panel, short throw shift lever with black anodized shifter with flyin chicken on it, racing pedals,and aluminum dash kit.

I did the storage box out of aluminum cause I didn't care for the carpeted rear seat deletes that I've seen. The friends who ride w/ me are long legged, thus having a rear seat was a joke. I like the ability to store items in it, in front of it and on top if needed.

Next phase of upgrades is exterior related. New 12bolt Strange rear end, brake rotor upgrade, some paint/body detailing, HID for headlights and foglights, and some SS trim pieces for the grill inserts.

The final phase of the project consist of a 408 cu in motor, chip/program upgrade, exhaust upgrade. My goal is to have around 500 HP at the rear wheels when done.
