1988 Gta Notchback Seats

I just bought a 1988 GTA notchback with 90k, cheap ,but unfortunately the leather seats need recovered.Does anyone know if someone makes the leather seat covers?Also was wondering if they are the same seats that are in a TTA?Thanks for any advise.

Yes and yes. Check Hawks above for the new leather(like) covers.

Thanks for the reply.I have seen the vinyl covers but the perforated samples don't look right.Like the holes are way to small.Has anyone here ever used these before?
I would much rather replace the covers with leather if I can find them.

i think the pattern is the same between the Notchback and the TTA. None of my Notchbacks have leather, so i'm not certain.

i do have a set of tan leather back seat (Notchback top and bottom). Not sure if i'd part with them, though.

What exactly do you need? The front seats? The back seats? Top or bottom?

Thanks JT but I'm going to need front and rear covers.I guess I'll have to hit the local upholstery shops to see if I can get them made.

By the way, do you have any pictures of your Notchback?

If so, i'd like to get some pictures of it, as well as add them to my Notchback picture collection on my website:

Thanks.

Great guys over there. Yeah the leather recovers are expensive but i think they will be worth the while since they make the covers for the TTA and seeing as those are the same as the GTA rears...

i got the notchback lid and those rear notchback seats from a friends wrecked notchback. i do believe the tta has the same exact seats. mine are reupholstered in black hampton vinyl from hawks. they look really good for the price, but i believe there is better out there. fitment was pretty good.

I found another place that makes the seat covers besides carmotorsports.Its www.jaxseatcover.com.They are cheaper than carmotorsports but still very expensive Thats more than I paid for the car!Just thought I'd let everybody know about Jax.

I wonder if they offer any other color besides the tan as the TTA's only came with the tan interior.
