Leather(???) interior; what material is it really?
What material are the "leather" seats and "leather" trimmings on the Firebird? Are they real leather(doubt it)? Vinyl? Some other knock off?

Yeah, I think they are. I have a dime size tear in my driver's upper wing. It looks very thin, but it looks like leather.

I'm thinking about getting some sudo leather seat covers from Advance Auto or something. They are pretty comfortable and look pretty good. $40 for a set if my memory serves me correctly. Had em on my old white Firebird and liked them.

They don't even come close to the GTO's seats.

How much lighter are they? I have thought about buying aftermarket seats. I just REALLY dont want them to look cheesy or ricey.
Whats the average weight loss? That would be the deciding factor for me. Also, how much they running you? Thanks

i have to check in a catalog i have at home (at work right now) for $$$ and lbs., but considering putting in manual race seats eliminates the power seat motors and the air compressor for the lumbar and side bolsters, im guessing theres a nice drop in weight. plus then theres the holes in the seat back for a race harness for when i get into the 11's for the 1/4 mile, thus neccessitating a roll cage and harness bar. its never ending...
btw, no ricey parts for my ride!!!! i kick ricers in the nuts

Well, a lot has changed about the car since last October. TTII rims and Falken FK452 tires to start. Took off some of the red and replaced with white. Fog light covers, engine dress up including clear MTI lid, took off the side moldings, etc, etc,
Here is the link to a few pics Matt.

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
i treat mine once a year with Leatherique-it's a 2 step/2 day process cleaner/conditioner which soften the seats and give them a nice matte finish.
i agree though, the material is cheap as hell in there. Really a shame considering i've seen kia's with better leather
