Sorry, you said leather so I thought that is what you were getting, I figured Procar would put anything you want on the seats as long as on you are willing to pay for it.
I personally am not a fan of vinyl they seem to get the hottest in the summer compared to velour, cloth or even leather and I always remember older factory vinyl seats tearing at the seams but materials might be better now.
I have velour Cerullo GT camel color seats in my Monte and on a hot summer day I may burn my hand on the top of the door but when I sit down the seats are cool and cozy (plus my power sunroof is always open).
I also think the Procar Elite and Elite Lumbar look best in a Gbody but that is also my opinion, I am looking at some velour Procar Elite's for my next project since Cerullo prices have gone way up, the Cerullo frame and foam now cost as much as a complete Procar Elite seat.
I actually bought my seats first then did the rest of the interior around it to match and bought extra yards of material from Cerullo do get my rear seat and visors reupholstered and then used the rest to make my front and rear door panels and do my headliner

My mistake I meant vinyl seats. Yes I know how hot that type of material can get out in the sun and sweaty but im diving head first on this one 😀. I imagine at the price there asking they must be a decent seat. Luckily I have an original burgundy rear seat to match it all it is vinyl. Personaly I dont think ive owned a car with a leather/vinyl interior so I want to try it out. I havent seen any procar seats installed in a g body where can I find?
I am soon to be done with my ring and pinion install I did do it myself and I tell ya it wasnt easy. But neither is paying $$$ for someone else to do it when I can learn and am fully capable. Once the cars all sealed up and tires back on the ground ill test drive it with the 373 gears and record it. (Note car not registered 
yet...)
yet...)
I have a picture of what the guage cluster looks like with the cover painted. What do you guys think? Looks like its custom. I'll be working on it all day since the weather is perfect. Lets hope the tires hit the ground. Found some pics of gbodies with pro car rally1000. They look pefect.
Things I got done today...
1. Connected the steering column to steering box and shaft. Turned out I had the steering wheel upside down
flipped it around and now its straight. Used a steering shaft from a 4th gen firebird it fit a lot easier.
2. Dyed the dash board. Most challenging is to dye it without hitting the windshield. I will have to touch up a few areas.
3. Sealed up the diff and filled it up with new fluid. Took quite a while to fill when the fluids in a cold temp and were talking 80W90.
Next up will be
1. Assemble the dash board & final touch up.
2. Lay the carpet down for final assembly fit and cut.
3. Send the headliner material to get sewn up.
4. Dye the rest of the interior pieces
5. Put the wheels and driveshaft together
6. Assemble interior & seats/ order seats.
Here is a picture of the wheels I have. I know these wheels are pretty uncommon but how uncommon are they...

Its new years everyone! Happy new years.
That means its only going to get way more colder out here. But the work must go on. I have plans to finish up the headliner so I can assemble the interior. I have a special type of style for the headliner. Check it out.
Its a diomond stitch pattern. It will go all along the head liner. I already have the maroon headliner vinyl and foam. As soon as I have someone stitch up the vinyl and foam I can glue it to the the head liner board and its a done deal.

So I havent really made much progress due to the weather being very uncooperative. So now im indoors working on iterior trim and small things as such. But now I have a question. I am going to paint the glove box door cover but theres a lock on it and I cant seem to get it off I removed all thebolts but it seems like its a one piece deal? Any help??

I believe those wheels were 87 and 88 options. Mine has them and like them but would rather have the F41 option. Add in being 14's limits the tire selection a lot. My car picked up .6 in the 1/8 going from 2.56 to 3.42 gears.
As for removing the glovebox. Get a paper clip, and you have to push the locks on the tumbler in as you pull the lock apart. There is the little access hole just above the lock.
