Shifter and E-Brake boots are alcatara stripes from Redlinegoods.com.

I just got really lucky that all the different vendors versions of Tan matched really well

i dont have anything that would help, but the install was truly just the reverse of taking the old cloth seats off, only the lower rear portion required work, and only because i had to reuse the factory Hog rings, and I dont own the correct pliers for the job, so needle-nose and channel-locks made suitable replacements

I can try to get some of the front seat as I am getting ready to replace my upper seat foam on the driverside

I've been looking for good seat covers for a while. It seemed like every company I called would say that they hadn't updated their website to show that they no longer made camaro ones.

I'm ordering mine tomorrow.
