What do you guys think about my new seats? You think they are worth the $620 I'm paying? The guy says they are in show quality condition... here is the link:

Just my 2 cents worth. If I'm correct those look like deluxe interior seats. If so they are missing the chevy emblems on the front seatbacks. If they are the right color and you require "deluxe interior???" seats then it might be worth it. I had a shop do my seats and they charged me $650.00 for labour alone. They were over $900.00 total including foam and covers. Ouch, didn't sleep well for a couple of nights. But they look great. But if you can recover your own seats or know a private guy it would probably cheaper to do it yourself.

Those are the same style seats that we had discussed earlier. They are missing the seat emblems but you can get these from the parts houses. The price does not sound too bad to me but I spent approx. $950 on my new front seats.

They look real nice but the $$? I recovered just the buckets 3 years ago with covers from NPD for about $90 plus $35 labor at a local upholsterer. My seats were in good shape and I removed and reinstalled.
Did you repaint the backs? If so what did you use?

They look great...price seems fair if the rear seat is included.

I'd say go for it unless you already have seats that can be easily recovered.

Thanks everyone, I feel better now. Yeah they are deluxe and they have the emblems on the back seats but not the front buckets. They are the correct color and year for my car. I currently have some "newer" seats for the front buckets which do not fit well at all. The rear seat is fine but these are better. This is going to make my car look great and me broke http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif
Now all I need is a orginal steering wheel instead of the GT Grant that's on it. Not having power steering makes it hard to turn but then put a tiny steering wheel on it makes it even harder.
