Default Any idea why my Trans Am would have Camaro seats?

So I've had my car for a few years now, and I've always noticed that my seats are different then any other TA's I've ridden in. I haven't payed that much attention to it until I realized I think they are Camaro leather seats. Did they do this from the factory, or would the guy that owned the car before me switch them out for some reason? (I heard they were lighter, but less comfortable than TA seats.)

Default Flood car??

Woundering if it was a flood car. They often put used interiors in and a camaro would bolt right up.

usually the opposite, most prefer TA seats over the Camaro seats. In any event sounds like someone definitely swapped interior...

It's definitely a WS6 believe me, that's the first thing I checked. This is the only pic I have of the interior right now. This was from right before I bought it.

Those are TA seats too, I have the ones above, I didnt notice that on yours but the camaros dont have the head rest. I guess they had two different models of them. Maybe someone else can explain. I know the ones with the ridges can be aired up, can yours?

You've got the base model/Formula/non-lumbar optioned leather seats. My car had those when I bought it.
Now, I've got lumbar support! Wewt!

Bout to say I don't remember your seats being any different. I didn't know you could get them without lumbar but your not missing out on anything lol.
