IRS+My Car= New Seats

okay guys, I'm getting a nice bit of money back from the IRS is a few days, So I want to get new front seats for my 83 firebird. I need some help picking out what i should get. I've seen the Corbeau line and i like some of what they got, i've also seen Cerullo's product line and they have nice stuff to. But what else is there? All the riceboys seem to get really nice looking seat, where do they get them. Help me out here guys, I really need some new seats, my driverside seat is all riped and just messed up, and my passenger side seat dosen't stay up anymore, so i really need to pick something.


Any help is great,
Thanks,
Robert

The brackets on the Corbeau's do raise ya up a little bit. My dad is 6'2 and he fits in them pretty good. Another thing is if your any kind of a thick person you will surley want to go with the wide option on them.

NEED RED SEATS!!!

I have flame red interior, sucks to find a good set of seats. No forth gen for me unless i go black. I really like the red, mostley because everybody hates it and doesnt have it. Makes my car differant.

that is fantastic, if I ever get around to doing my interior, I'd love it to turn out like that, very clean, and professional looking. Nice job, you should do a step by step on redoing an interior like that, although it looks like the 4th gen stuff may have lready been in there when you got it, none the less, great job!
