I'm interested in a source for body moldings and interior parts for
an 82 - 84 body style Trans-Am.
Firstly, The seats in my '82 are on the hard side and provide
little lumbar support and little adjustability. I'd like to
replace them with something better, but don't know where to start
looking.
Secondly, I'm probably going to have it painted next year (probably
urethane) and am interested in whether body moldings similar to the
custom parts I've seen on Fieros and RX-7's are available for my car.
As a side note, can you paint those plastic front and back bumpers?
Or do you have to buy them the right color and try to match the rest
of the car to them?
Lastly, if anyone else out there has a T/A my approximate year with
manual transmission, does your right elbow bang into the console glove
compartment during shifting? It's probably the least ergonomic feature
of the entire car. I notice that the newer T/As have a sloping front
edge on the glove compartment that probably helps a lot. But the new
ones are way out of my price range, so I was wondering what I could do
to remedy mine.
Other than those couple points, I really love this car. The handling
is the best I've experianced and the V8 just has to putter along to
keep me ahead of traffic. You can keep your 2.2 liter four bangers.
(The preceeding was an editorial opinion. -- It just escaped out my
fingers.)
Any comments would be appreciated. Please E-mail and I will summerize.
Thanks!
Ron
