    Hay not sure if u still check this but I am wondering what seats are those I would like some on my trans am as the seats need to be replaced and I don’t particularly like the original cloth seats

      Hi, cant remember where I sourced them from, but you can use pretty much any seat. One tip, the subframes from the original seats were cut off and welded to the frame of the new seats to get the best fit possible

    Hey i just found your video here, i realize this video was posted 5yrs ago. : / BUT, i still wanted to say what i thought to say, in hopes that maybe you or if someone else has this car now and hasnt changed anything on the car? I want to say, its a cool car! i think it looks and im sure performs great. BUT.. I have to say it.. THOSE ARE NOT THE RIMS FOR THIS CAR!!! THESE RIMS REALLY TAKE THE BEAUTY AWAY FROM THIS CAR. Its like someone wearing sneakers with a tuxedo or sexy dress. : / IT JUST DOES BELONG LIKE THAT! AND NEITHER DO THOSE RIMS GO WITH THAT CAR! Thats all i wanted to say.. and, enjoy the car!

      Hi. The rims are there more for handling and grip, they allow me to fit 275 tyres all round and with 18inch diamete/lower profile tyres it helps as there are many other suspension mods, this car corners so much better than stock.

      @@SA-zoom1 Hi. Im sure. BUT you can find the RIGHT rims in a low profile size too! Google search custom rims for 88 trans am, and you will see hundreds. of course its your decision.

      @@rockybalboa2526 you would think so but the tyres are 275/35 Yokohama Advans that cost £1400 and you need a 10inch wide rim to run them safely. Due to the width there are very few wheels that come in the correct offset and spacers are a bad idea on these cars. The standard rim is only 8inch and runs a 245 tyre. The rims widen the track of the car and with all the suspension mods the far superior handling is preferred. The rims are different now anyway as I had them dipped, painted gold then diamond cut and look way better.

( if you read all the comments? you will see i am not alone in seeing that ) : / I understand EVERYTHING you have said regarding the rims you have. BUT! the truth is, you can get different rims if you really wanted to for your car! IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO! ( and if you really dont? that is ok. ITs YOUR CAR, and it doesnt really matter what i think or anyone else thinks about your car. YOU HAVE TO LIKE IT! ) But still, you can have the stock rim CUSTOMIZED to the specific size you need! OR? you just put rims that look good on the car, and get a thicker tire. The car is NOT a track car, and you show me ONE track car that those ugly rims you have on your car??? : / I HAVE NEVER SEEN THOSE ON ANY TRACK CAR! your car is a STREET car. And while i certainly place handling over ANY OTHER COMPONENT OF THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE ( except my sound system! I have to have great sounding speakers and stereo gear ) so i understand all about suspension and handling, and hugging the road! Those are my focus on any car i own. ( and the sound system ) : P but YOU DONT NEED TRACK SPECS ON ALL THE PARTS OF YOUR CAR! UNLESS YOU ARE USING IT ONLY FOR THE TRACK!?? ( i dont think you are ) SO you do not need to worry about thicker tires that will look SO MUCH BETTER ON THIS CAR, AND BETTER LOOKING RIMS THAT GO WITH THOSE TIRES! IT WILL STILL HANDLE WELL, HUG THE ROAD, AND DRIVE LIKE BUTTER! BUT!!! IT WILL BE LOOKING BITCHIN WHILE DOING IT! : )
      BUT AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS? ITS YOUR CAR! YOUR DREAM! YOUR DECISION ON HOW YOU WANT TO EQUIP YOUR CAR! AND YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS DRIVING IT EVERYDAY! SO YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH IT.. NOT ME.. BUT DONT SAY YOU DONT HAVE OTHER OPTIONS.. JUST SAY, HEY DUDE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, BUT I LIKE MY CAR THE WAY IT IS, AND SINCE ITS MY CAR, IM GOING TO KEEP IT THIS WAY! YOU COULD JUST SAY THAT! AND THAT WOULD BE FINE........... BUT DONT MAKE EXCUSES FOR SUCH UGLY RIMS, MAKING YOUR CAR LOOK BAD! WHEN IT SIMPLY SHOULD NEVER LOOK BAD! ITS A COOL CAR! THATS HOW IT SHOULD LOOK! COOL! NOT COOL WITH UGLY RIMS! : /

    Nice. The spoiler is incorrect. 5.7 350s, at least in the US version, did not have t-tops. The decal below the GTA badge is not original and sort of defeats the purpose of the GTA package if you know the history. Wheels while nice take away from the original appeal of the car. The steering wheel and interior, while customized, is not fitting for a true GTA. Just my opinion that a true GTA should not be modified. It's cool for a Trans Am but there are a lot of fake GTA wanna bes out there. Conclusion: This is either not a true GTA, for incorrect items listed above, or it is the real deal with some odd modifications that make it no longer the car it once was.

      ThatOnePerson...t's a genuine y84 GTA just modified, the T Tops were aftermarket dealer options in 88, never liked the original spoiler hence the older style one. the car came from Japan and already had lots of non standard parts. I have restored it and updated to my own taste it's a car not a museum exhibit
