Well, it's Hampton Vinyl which is "leather-like" purchased from Hawk's. I purchased seats from a 95 Camaro for $300. Then I bought the covers from Hawks (http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...l?v=1&pid=5863) for around $425 shipped. I did the reupholstering myself. It's not really that hard but you have to take your time. I like them a lot and they really pull the whole two-tone theme together. Everything in the car is black and grey.

You guys are killing me! I get that a lot. It's only there because my old one was shot and I have not ordered a shifter yet. Still undecided between B&M and Hurst products.

I've got the factory leather...flame red. I got an estimate to have the front seats recovered with leather, and some black suede inserts...... $900. It's a very good shop who do killer work.

I think you're looking for me ... not Aredross. If that's the case, the panels are from a Firebird/Trans Am. Check with the bird guys to see what year. I picked them up used. I wanted map pockets as the Camaro's don't have nuttin'. I just took out the small section at the upper corner that had fabric and replaced it with vinyl.

Lookin awesome...
I especially like the work on the back of the rear seat. Sometimes the stuff you never see is what really makes the car.

depends on the grade of leather... often times vinyl is a much more reasonable option as it lasts just as long if you get the right stuff and no one can tell the difference. softer as well.

leather is overrated for a seat.
