i am probably going to buy a set in a month or two and redo my seats. just looking to see how the quality and fit is. i would think the fit is perfect but you never know.

my father used them on his 91 ta, the fit and quality is top notch. i dont believe he had any problems, but i do know they looked great. he would recommend them to anyone.

See if you can get a hold of Paul (HardcoreZ28). He redid the interior of his IROC and it came out nothing short of awesome. He can steer you in the right direction.

Bill's right...I did the whole interior of my car. I used the seat covers from Hawks and they fit great! If you're going to do it yourself just take your time to pull all the material tight before you hogring. I'd also suggest trying to steam any wrinkles out before covering the seats or it will take quite a while for them to work their way out. Also if your foam is a bit beat up replace it....you'll be happy you did.

Bruce over at Hawks is a great guy to deal with and will help you out with the right colors and so forth. Their door panels are also great if you need them as well.

And if you decide you want to have someone else put the covers on for you shoot me a PM and I'll quote you a price.

thanks, hardcore... my foam is beat up on the drivers side and the passengers side is in great shape... is there anywhere to get the new foam?

Hawks might have it. Or they may even have a used piece that's in good shape they can sell you. If not I'd ask around, someone may have a used seat around that you can pirate it from.
