Let me say right off, some of these items are not even close to the factory. So if is not close why did I buy it?

Our carpet was worn through and faded very badly.  The seats were coming apart and the top of the back seat was about to bust open.  The leather was very hard and the foam was weak.  As you can see from the web site the car looks good from the out side.  People would come up and say how great it looks... when are you going to do the interior.

What you see below is just over $2,000.00.  Here is the run down:

• Seat foam - NPD, Vendor (you order Firebird custom interior and the box says Camaro!).
• Seat kit and door panels - PUI, Manufacturer; Fryers , Vendor
• Carpet, floor mats,  and sun visors - ACC, Manufacturer; Fryers, Vendor (was best price and shipping!)
• Console black trim and turned aluminum insert, door trims, door shields - Performance Years, Vendor

The old seat foam on the driver's seat was very worn.  The passenger was fine.  The pattern of the foam compared side by side stock with NPD was clear.  The installer had to cut the head section off the stock seat foam and place it on the NPD piece because the seat kit would not fit over the "Camaro" foam.  The stock seat bottoms had a flat profile, NPD did not.

Live and learn.  I could have had the seats done custom - to a perfect match - for $3,000.  But with the kit going for $875 the idea "close was good for a driver".  This was compounded with the incorrect foam.  The installer never questioned it and did what I asked: replace the foam and the covers.  Under the circumstances, he did a fine job with poor materials.

The door panels were replaced because the tops were fading and the bottoms were warped from past water leakage.  The birds were pretty bad from years of careless cleaning.  If you change the panels you have to change the carpet or the two carpets will not match!  It was real fun cutting out the door handle, lock switch and remote.  DON'T FULLY CUT OUT TO THE OPENING IN THE BACKER FOR THE DOOR HANDLES.  They are bigger than the trims!!!  Also, you have to lay out and cut the backer for the power locks!!!  Go figure, they sell 10th door panels and every 10th has power windows, they don't have the cut outs done at the factory...

About the carpet.  It just flat sucks.  I should not hold back... It really sucks.  Why hunt high and low for anything that was closer to the "Long Shag" that went out of style 25 years ago when PUI was sticking us (you and me) 10th owner's with the only thing they could get.  So it would not match and look worse than being wrong.
