i love how it looks man came out so cool over all the suede and everything fits nice and over all have the power and interior most def i would even do this if i had the 6 gen
getting into the same gig myself bought a 2014 1ls convertible for 16000....replaced the rear view mirror with a 2012 used chevy cavalier model and fits perfectly...replaced outside rear view mirrors from cardio ….replaced cloth door panels with illuminating ones from a ZL1....fit perfectly....now ordered leather seats on EBAY front and rear....upgrade cost 1900 dollars total....new spoiler ,tires ,and sportier hood another 1600....upgrades are fun if you do it yourself.
Thanks for the detailed video and I can pretty much guarantee I would have made the same mistakes. I've been thinking about getting some for my 17 Gen 6 SS and this pushed me over the edge.
hey Matt, just curious - you mentioned in the video, that you want to change the ZL1 seat badges. Do you have any video from that? I know you sold your SS seats already - so obviously you switched to something else. I am curious, because I want to switch to something personal (remove 'SS' badges) but want to keep the SS seats. So I'd like to see how you switched those and maybe what is your shop for custom badges.
Did you use thread lock on the T 15 floor bolts? I pulled my seats out once for an in-depth detail and remember reading somewhere that using red loctite is “highly recommended”.
Hey Man i have a question, so i took out my seats to washed them, and put everything back on its placed and the issue is that i have the airbag light on but i connected back, how can i fix this ? i didnt disconect the battery before though
LethalGarage you've got almost everything Zl1 spec (even the seats say zl1) given the tunes etc.I don't know about you but I think a bumper change should be a great idea!
@lethalgarage Thanks so much for posting this. I’ll be tackling this next week. I know I need to buy a T50 Torx socket, but were the bolts on the side (where the seat belt is) T50s as well, or was that another size? I’m trying to figure out what I need before getting into this job. Thanks!!
I did because of me not connecting the passenger side buckle up. But once that was connected the light went away. Always work with your negative terminal disconnected and you shouldn't have issues.
My cat decided it was ok to pee in passenger seat. My fault I should have left her in the carrier but she screams bloody murder whenever she has to stay in her carrier and taking her out she is ok to ride and loves being free. Anyway I have gotten my ss detailed still smell the odor tried doing odor bomb still smell the odor. So since the seats are heated aND air conditioned I may need to replace the seats overall. So knowing that I can replace the seats is good to know. Thank you.
I know how that goes, it frustrates the heck out of me when that happens. If they're being honest everyone has done it at some point if they "fix things" haha!
I'm sure many people have asked already but are you gonna somehow replace the ZL1 logo with an SS logo? Nvm I saw in the video at 14:40 that you're going to remove it.
The adjustments would work. In your case you could get the 1LE seats. If you wanted to get crafty, you could make your own button panels and add the heat and cooling :)
That would be amazing but not sure I have the skills to add those but if I could I would be even more excited to get them. Do I save any cash getting 1LE seats?
I have a 2019 ZL1. The passenger side side will got flip forward. Don’t want to bring it to dealer of fear of them doing more harm than good. Can you advise if I can resolve this without removing the seat? Cable is connected on top flap as far as I can see.
We did my sons in less than an hour including rear. Only thing that gets me is I bought the red stiched zl1 seats for mine and was putting my ss seats in his car until the wife butted in. So he has beautiful zl1 seats in his car. Sohe won that one.
Nice job, Matt. Actually I like the "ZL1" logos on the seats and wish you'd consider keeping them. Just out of curiosity, what would your dealership or some other shop (Cunningham, maybe?) have charged to do the seat swap-out? Any idea?
Hello. I am subbing. I have a 2019 RS Camaro. I don't care for those seats. Are the seats you installed better some how over the stock seats. I was hoping they moved like Corvette seats with the adjusters. But they don't. Does your new seats reclin back farther then the stock seats?
Hello, I’m new to the Camaro’s, I just got mine last week and i have a dumb question 😅 today i was getting outside the car and i leaned with my right arm on the floor instead of holding the steering wheel or putting my hands on the seat will that ruin anything in the floor carpet ? 😂
@lethalgarage I am trying this swap on a 1SS. Does anyone (I didnt see any on gen5diy) make an adapter to power the seat so I don’t have to swap the entire harness?
Hi, I have my camaro 2018 convertible and i want to change my both side seat into racing leather so how much it cost to replacement. Can u do for me bro.
Man Thank you a ton for doing this Seat install Lethal!!! I really appreciate this video it's going to help me a ton for when I do my seats! Love You Man!
I'm looking into a 2016 camaro 1ss but I'm 7 feet tall and don't really fit in it. What aftermarket seat and brackets do you recommend to lower the seat so I can fit lol
Really wish that chevy would do some of the upgrades to the interior on the Silverados like they have in the Camaros. The led lighting is a very nice factory touch. As well as the alcantara on door panels steering wheel, and dash panels. I know you added yours. Although it would be nice as a factory option on the silverados
+AllTheWay Dave I have loved the Alcantara forever and am so happy I could install it myself in my car. To most people it doesn't matter, to me it's a priceless upgrade worth its weight in gold.
I have a 2014 camaro 1LE with alcantara on the recaro seats, steering wheel, shift knob and it is very nice. I also have a 16 silverado LT so basic interior and I am more than pleased with this interior of the silverado, I'm not sure alcantara is such a good option for truck owners as they tend to be used more and would get matted/dirty very easily. I like the hard surfaces as they are much easier for cleaning. The LED lighting in the silverado is awesome and I like how simple chevy is keeping it.
I fully understand where you are coming from. Some ppl use there pickups in different environments and what not. I am just saying that I wish it were an factory option. So that the ppl that do want it could get it. I really like the leather in my 14 Silverado. Just wish the door panels had alcantara. As well as the arm rest and steering wheel. For me, that would fit my needs. I don't let my pickup get to dirty. As a $50-60,000 pickup is not something I want to let get ruined by my own ignorance.
For sure. I get what you mean. I just think GM doesn't see it being an option most would want. Who knows though. I'm sure a local upholstery shop could get you all set up!

Man my seats look really good in your car! :)
Interior is so plush, major props mateo
+drpurp hippymobb Thanks man
Where did you get your seats and for how much?
U removed the ZL1 badge from the seats and I recommend u install the SS badge like the because the badges make the seats look way more mean
If only those ZL1 Recaro seats had the SS badge instead of ZL1 badge they would be perfect.
+kevinsdb1 zL1 badges will be gone
LethalGarage can u do a video removing it
Any change in headroom? I don't have much, and I think helmets add an extra 4 inches or so.
Same
are the SS 1LE recaro seats identical to the zl1 recaro seats?
Did you use thread lock on the T 15 floor bolts? I pulled my seats out once for an in-depth detail and remember reading somewhere that using red loctite is “highly recommended”.
It looks amazing! Where did you purchase them?
very nice car. it looks better than the zl1 and I'm pretty sure it cost more too by now.
+the great all mighty G still under ;)
How much did those puppies set you back? Pray, tell.
Hey Man i have a question, so i took out my seats to washed them, and put everything back on its placed and the issue is that i have the airbag light on but i connected back, how can i fix this ? i didnt disconect the battery before though
Next up! ZL1 front bumper install!
+Nawaf Raheem Not planning on it
LethalGarage you've got almost everything Zl1 spec (even the seats say zl1) given the tunes etc.I don't know about you but I think a bumper change should be a great idea!
+Nawaf Raheem lol. My car is not a ZL1, as much as I like the ZL1 bumper, it just wouldn't be right.
Where did you get the seats?
Do they recline back to lay down?
@lethalgarage Thanks so much for posting this. I’ll be tackling this next week. I know I need to buy a T50 Torx socket, but were the bolts on the side (where the seat belt is) T50s as well, or was that another size? I’m trying to figure out what I need before getting into this job. Thanks!!
I honestly don't recall. I want to say they were all the same size
LethalGarage No problem. Thanks for the reply! Hope you and your family are safe and sound in these crazy times.
Were good! Stay safe
Great job Matt. Would you help me to install my seats for Z06 competiton seat
+Jay Kang I can always try ;)
Did you trip your air bag light?
I did because of me not connecting the passenger side buckle up. But once that was connected the light went away. Always work with your negative terminal disconnected and you shouldn't have issues.
Did you sell your stock 2ss seats ?
Sold
You selling the other seats?
Can I remove the airbag fuse and i can remove them without disconnecting the battery?
The lines can carry a charge, I’d disconnect the battery
Where did u buy ur seats
Yeah, I had the same question. Any change in headroom vs the stock seats?
Haven’t tried aftermarket seats, but all the Camaro seats seem to sit at the same height. Aftermarket brackets will sit lower
LethalGarage Thanks for the response. Aftermarket brackets? Is that something I could find for my stock seats?
Not for stock seats. That would have to be custom
Where did you buy the seats?
+Shawn Gilmour off a ZL1 owner
do the seats recline back any further?
+MarlonBrandoe the same
get done just in time for the kids to get up?
This was over a few days. but took about 2 hours with the mess ups.
How do you remove the zl1 emblem on the seats?
You really can’t
LethalGarage oh ok
You doing good job
My cat decided it was ok to pee in passenger seat. My fault I should have left her in the carrier but she screams bloody murder whenever she has to stay in her carrier and taking her out she is ok to ride and loves being free.

Omg!! That seems like a lot of work even with ur mistakes. Looks good tho.
+Montoya Gunn Not really
Great job on the install.
I love it
what was the weight difference?
I hate it when I make a mistake like you did with the seatbelt. My Mom always used to tell me "haste makes waste" LOL! she was right. As usual. haha!
I'll be honest, I thought I had it right, but somehow i twisted it.
I know how that goes, it frustrates the heck out of me when that happens. If they're being honest everyone has done it at some point if they "fix things" haha!
I'm sure many people have asked already but are you gonna somehow replace the ZL1 logo with an SS logo?
Nvm I saw in the video at 14:40 that you're going to remove it.
Was looking for tutorials on how to remove the seat belts and this has done just that! Thank you!
Where did you find there zl1 seats for sale?
To free the belt you can remove the plastic cover of that thing that looks out of that hole. There under is one screw you have to unsrew. Ready ;-)
Very nice Matt. Funny how the simplest things get us, every single time
EVERYTIME!
I think I know the answer but do you think if I put these in my 1SS I would only lose the heated cooling stuff but the adjustments would work?
The adjustments would work. In your case you could get the 1LE seats. If you wanted to get crafty, you could make your own button panels and add the heat and cooling :)
That would be amazing but not sure I have the skills to add those but if I could I would be even more excited to get them. Do I save any cash getting 1LE seats?
Maybe you check older videos maybe you don’t but just in case? How much did the seats cost. Fairly new sub and I really like your content. Thanks.
I paid $2,800
LethalGarage thanks
I have a 2019 ZL1. The passenger side side will got flip forward.
Don’t want to bring it to dealer of fear of them doing more harm than good.
Can you advise if I can resolve this without removing the seat?

+ken sheldon probably a few hundred bucks
They say .. an A$$ for every seat ! Wish my A$$ was in seats like that !!
Working on a car with bare feet is a wild move lol.
Hello. I am subbing. I have a 2019 RS Camaro. I don't care for those seats.
Are the seats you installed better some how over the stock seats. I was hoping they moved like Corvette seats with the adjusters. But they don't.
Does your new seats reclin back farther then the stock seats?
They are still 8 way but are recaro bolstered seats
I love the content man! Keep it up 👍🏽
looks awesome! good job man!
Looks really good
did you have heated and vented seats before on your old seats? if so do the heated and vented settings still work on the new recaro seats??? TIA
Yes and yes
If you upgrade to the ZL1 seats on a 1le.
Would you get heated seats?
since the 1le doesn't come with that option.
+Mezz Mezz the seat would support it, but you would lack the wiring and controls to turn it on
are u able to have the heated and cooled seats or no because or the ecu and wiring?
I was able to because my car had heated and cool seats already
Nice!
great looking seats
Hello, I’m new to the Camaro’s, I just got mine last week and i have a dumb question 😅 today i was getting outside the car and i leaned with my right arm on the floor instead of holding the steering wheel or putting my hands on the seat will that ruin anything in the floor carpet ? 😂

Hi, I have my camaro 2018 convertible and i want to change my both side seat into racing leather so how much it cost to replacement. Can u do for me bro.
What is the weight on the front seats? Found some comfortable 25lbs Braum seats wondering if the weight cut will be worth it.
Is the lack of recline bothering you all these years later? If there's anybody in New York who can do the street recline mod please reach out to me.
It’s never bugged me
@@Lethalgarage My biggest issue with the car but of course do love my car.
Props for the Black Label at the Lethal bar!
Its good.
How many power settings are on the new recaro seats? The same 8-way as stock ? I'm hoping it has lumbar support
Damn they look good in there, we all have been there !!! If you spent anytime spinning wrenches on your ride!! It all good!! Later that is , lol !!
Maybe you can answer my question. Are the vents on the doors actually used or are they there just for looks?
Man Thank you a ton for doing this Seat install Lethal!!! I really appreciate this video it's going to help me a ton for when I do my seats! Love You Man!
You said t50 for the seat bolts what size is the bolt for the seat belt? Is it the same size?
Did you have any issue with airbag lights
Or do they just reset themselves?
is there’s like the same type of those seat but in white cuz my interior is white
That's so cool !!!! Love it !
Thank you
I would say keep the ZL1 seat insert, but your car deserves better lol
Hey man Ik I’m late but did the heat and cool ventilation work still in thing about getting ss recaros on mine
As my car was a 2SS, yes.
@@Lethalgarage thanks bro and also do all the 1le recaros have the right plug-ins including the 1ss 1le
@@Ab-re7pv I don’t think they have the power lines to operate the cooking and heat. I think Gen5DIY.com offers something to get them working.
Are you selling you old seats if so I’m located in California
What did you replace the ZL1 badges with? I did the same.
Do you know if these will fit the 2021 lt1 camaro?
Are your going to be putting in the Alcantara zl1 rear seat in?
Flying...
From the " seat" of your pants again .
I'm looking into a 2016 camaro 1ss but I'm 7 feet tall and don't really fit in it. What aftermarket seat and brackets do you recommend to lower the seat so I can fit lol
You will need a custom setup
Did you ever end up getting the badges off the seat?
You happen to still have the cloth seats?
Awesome seats. I like the red stitch better than the gray stitch in my 1LE seats. What emblem are you gonna put in the seats?
+Richdogg 707 custom made
Anyone know where I can find the SS or ZL1 recaro seats for sale trying to swap out my seats
Or something that would offer all the functions that come with that like 8 way and ventilation
Super helpful video. Thanks.
I'd like to add at least one recaro 1LE seat to my '17 SS, too bad they run close to $2k a pop
+JAY yeah, they are pricey. I got mine for about $600 less per seat
If I install 2SS leather seats on my 1SS will I be able to use the ventilation/heated features?
Not unless you add all the wiring and buttons for it
Where did you buy these? I have been looking for brand new ones but no luck so far.
I got them 2nd hand
