That would be weird and just plain wrong!

This isn't just about tracking the car. The comp seats look great and can increase the value of the car depending on the buyer. If you do only one, not only is it going to look like fido's a$$ but it's also going to hurt the cars value. Do it right or don't do it at all.

OK, I think I get your drift.

Yes, the part numbers are physically in the database now, but the microsuede/Alcantara parts don't get recognized in the system for ordering or pricing info.

So, for right now, they're essentially on lockout. I'll keep an eye on this, too, since I'm planning on doing a MF/Alc conversion.

WOW...these looks great. Did you do it yourself or have a shop do the upgrade? More details please. i.e. did you order all the parts listed in this tread or just have someone else do it? Either way, it looks amazing!

I had white leather in my '99 30th TransAm. I cringe at the thought of daily driving with them; hope its not your daily driver.

Be careful with red shirts and leather belts.

AE4 703 seems to be the correct trim

Thanks in advance!

Not aftermarket. And, they were on constraint for some people back when they ordered their vehicles in 2013/2014. This gives people the sports seat bottom with the competition seats top.

I'm sorry my friend. It will be hard to buy them in black. You will need a Vin no. With red seat competition seats from the factory to order. . In my opinion. Just let someone do the conversion ....
