Interior Modifications and Creature Comforts:
I'll start with the basics. When I bought the car it was light grey, with cloth high backed seats in it. If you know 3rd gen's you know that I mean the cheapo tweed non optional seats without adjustable head rests.
Now It has anything but that. I went off and put in a full interior swap. I put in black interior panels off of a '89 Camaro. Then I bought a full interior set of seats from a totalled '97 Trans-Am. I had belived these seats to be the Recaro's but upon further research I was wrong, they are just stock '97 Trans Am Leathers Seats. I choose to retain the back seat for now as well, but that may go in the future. The carpet is brand new and was a gift from my wife, which is Graphite Black / Grey from Year One.
Instrumentation and Steering
Swapped the stock RS 110mph Instrument cluster with a '91 Z/28's 145mph cluster. I also then painted the bezel a similar purple to match the rest of the car.
For guages I retained the factory setup, but added a Macewen Motorsports silver faced guage overlays. At the time of purchase I think I was one of the first that had the silver, as he had only made white up until then.
You may have noticed my Autometer dual guage pod and guages in the photo above. I decided that I wanted extra insurance with the motor, so I added the Guage Pillar Pod with an Autometer ProComp Oil and Water Temperature Guages. I not only like the way they look, but value their functionality. I also added an Autometer 5" super tach, located to the right of the instrument cluster. I haven't gotten any photos of that yet though.
Steering wheel wise I went with a classicaly styled Grant Aluminum wheel with Leather top wrapping. It gets a bit hot in the summer, but I love the look, and with the new z06 Wheels it matches pretty good too.
For safety and dress up I have added a Chrome Fire Extinguisher that mounts on the passenger side of the center console. I think it looks good, but more importantly adds to the safety of the vehicle.
You may also notice the purple shift boot. I made that a couple of years ago, when I was building custom shift boots as a part time job. It was fun, and heck, I learned how to sew too.
What you don't see is my overhead console. I added a '85 Z/28 Overhead console complete with Flashlight! I like the way it divided the headliner in to two sides. I also added a later model rear view mirror with Map Lights. It's the little things that count after all!
