Conversion - Interior Update

The car originally had a white interior. Anybody who has owned a 20-plus year-old car with a white plastic interior can attest that it oxidizes in the sun quicker than just about any other color. Mine was more like Styrofoam than polystyrene—rubbing it turned it into powder. This can be attributed to a lower carbon content in white plastic. Most of the black pieces, and many of the saddle beige color pieces I’ve found are as flexible as the day they were molded and only suffering from a few dings and scratches. My white vinyl driver’s seat was also shot. I gradually collected a set of black plastic panels, most of which cane from Butch Davis. Classic Trim of Abilene made a set of black vinyl seat skins with cloth velour inserts from early ‘90’s Camaro fabric that fades gradually from black to medium gray. This cost around $700.00 for front and rear seats. I might have been able to get a different reproduction OEM pattern cheaper, but decided to go with something I thought would look good without detracting from the near-original appearance of the car. The velour inserts should add to the visual appeal and offset the black interior against the white exterior and be comfortable than solid vinyl in the Texas heat.
