I am at 354 miles so far. So, started off with some Katzkin seats and then dyed the gray stiching Cobalt Blue to match (got the idea from LTFun's thread). This forum has given me alot of inspiration and ideas. Next up will be something with the door panels.

Very nice! I look forward to seeing the updates on your car. See my journal in my signature for possible ideas. Most of mine were pretty cheap.

Thanks DamonZ28, your journal gave me a few more ideas.
Looking at your journal reminded me of a couple of things I've already done that I forgot to mention. Floor mats Morimoto side markers LED license bulbs LED reverse bulbs https://store.ijdmtoy.com/products/l...-20-001a-white |

So are those reverse bulbs easy to replace? Looks interesting, and the price is right.

Beauty, congrats!
I'm hoping your user name means you're also hiding an early 2nd gen Trans Am 455 HO somewhere

I've always been a Pontiac guy and owned quite a few 1st and 2nd gen Firebirds. I did have a 71 455HO back in the early 90's and still kick myself for getting rid of it. |

Really easy. I just used some 3M heat transfer tape for the resistors. Much easier and cheaper than using the $90+ dollar wiring harness and removing the rear bumper. |

Just installed Power Stop Z26 pads and rotors, I couldn't take the excessive amount of brake dust any longer (didn't take any pictures).
I also installed an Elite Engineering E2X catch can and a Roto-Fab cold air intake and got rid of the sound tube. I mounted the catch can to the fan shroud and used https://www.uprproducts.com/oil-catc...play-fittings/ to connect the can to the intake tube. |

After putting about 200 miles on the lowered suspension, FE4 sway bars and better tires, I am really impressed with how much better it handles without sacrificing the ride quality. GM did a great job designing the shock and spring combo. The more I drive the more I love it.
