Replacing Interior Need Help
I'm replacing my interior in my 74 Firebird. I ordered a PUI full seat upholstery set but the color just doesn't match the original blue, way off! And all or most of the plastic comes in black, so what I'm thinking is going two tone, Black with blue appointments, I know this wasn't offered in 74 but I'm curious. Can someone smarter than me photoshop this combo? I can find Black with red that's it

See if this thread helps you. No pictures specifically, but it could have been ordered as blue appointments and black seats. |

74 interior
I couldn't see anything in that link about Black with Blue appointments. I have the deluxe horse collar seats by the way. I was looking at this site: http://www.tran-zam.com/1974/1974_Interiors.htm. Here's a pic of what I got now.

Two tone interiors were avaiable in both 74 & 75 as I have a friend who bought a new 75 T/A in 75 & it has white seats with the blue plastic parts in the car. He still has it now as it was his first new car but thats the way he ordered it & he has been questioned about it a the T/A nats a few years back so he had to show his wondow sticker & build sheet to prove it but you could get it that way . But I myself don't really care for the black & blue look but the white with blue looks great. I'm partial to white tho as I have white interior in my 73 GTO that I bought new.

"original blue, way off! "
Is this the one you ended up with ? I had mine dyed to match |

This looks quite cool too- factory off white with black appointments. And it is a 74 ta. My 76 has deluxe white horse collar seats with black appointments and I love it. The contrast makes it pop and quite unusual these days. The blue with black appointments would look nice. I am having the same problem finding aftermarket seat covers that match the originals. My drivers seat needs to be recovered and many places offer white deluxe horse collar 76 covers however, the off white perforated insert from the factory was off white, not bright white. I am going to have an upolstry shop see what they could do for me since the rest of the seats are are original and in great shape.

The perforated bottom material was a little different shade from the outside in all the colors I bet. You can see a difference in the attached picture of my blue ones. The new cover that has been dyed is really darker looking than the picture shows. My camera flash tends the make colors look lighter ?

You may want to try Legendary. From what I've heard multiple times, they make some of the best reproductions on the market.
Ask if they can send a sample. |

$990.00 NOS material a pair for the front seats only. My car is not worth spending that much. It is a driver / 30 footer.
