Pics of new carpet & seats in my GTA

Well, 1 of the 2 new seats.

Before (copy & paste):

Now:


The carpet isn't really as bright and yellow-ish as the first "new" pic seems to make it look. I guess it's an artifact of the flash.

I guess now all that's left to add is the for sale sign

Looks good Jim, what brand carpet did you go with and how'd you like it? I'm going to replace my carpet once I get the new paint on the car. How much are you asking for the GTA?

I used ACC carpet. It fit great and looks really good. I'm real happy with the quality. I'm asking $6k or best offer for the car. If you have any questions about it, feel free to email me.

Hey, what seats are those? Are those the flo-fit seats or whatever? I think I see those on ebay quite a bit but I'm not sure... looks nice... I'm in the market for some new seats....

Yeah, they are flo fit seats. They are by far the most comfortable seats I've ever had. They blow away the 4th gen seats in my IROC, and the stock seats in my Vette. They fit like they were made just for me. I'd keep them, but I needed seats for the GTA, and they are the right color, so off they go...

IROC, I still don't have any decals on the doors. I don't know if I'll ever put them on. The IROC is still running like a POS, and right now it's a lawn ornament on my parent's front yard because it won't start again.

Did you go through ACC or someone like Hawks?

I need carpet for my 84 bird.

you did great work on the GTA. I wish I had the money, I would buy that car in a heartbeat.

Good luck selling it. Im sure your sad to see it go. But hey, you got an Iroc and a vette.


later

I bought the carpet from a place in CT. The name escapes me. Right now I'm working on becoming an ACC retailer so I can sell it locally. When you're ready for some, give me a shout.

Seat and carpet look great. Too bad you have to sell it.

I don't really have to, but I have no use for it anymore. I drive the Vette daily, and right now the payment is eating me alive until I can put some of the money from the GTA down on it.

How did ACC compare with the other carpet samples you were getting?

Neither of the other two companies could be bothered to send me samples dispite my requests, so I bought ACC. I've heard from people that both of the other two companies have better stuff, but if neither can take the time to send me a couple tiny samples, there's no way I'm spending money with them.

Get that car fixed. It looks too nice to just sit there.

I'm trying. I put a fuel pump gauge on it last night. The pressure bleeds off a little faster than I'd like to see, but not fast enough for me to stress over. Tonight I'm going to try swapping the coil from the GTA to see if that helps.

In other news, I drove the GTA today for the first time in months.
