TMI Products Releases Complete Interior For ‘86-87 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Understanding that factory interiors of many cars from the ‘80s just haven’t held up well over the years, TMI Products is about to make a lot of Chevy fans happy with their new interior offerings for the ’86 – ’87 Monte Carlo SS.
TMI’s Monte Carlo SS lineup includes seats, headliners, visors, carpet kits, floor mats, door panels and interior quarter panels, steering wheels, dash pads, and consoles. Catering to those on a budget or wanting to replace worn out components first, these products are available individually and in a variety of matching patterns. Owners looking to do it all in one shot, can purchase the complete interior all at one time.
Preferred Seating
Monte Carlo SS owners can choose between the Pro-Series Lowback or the tall Pro-Series Trans-Am seat styles for the front row. Both seats are designed to provide more support on the seat bottom with high bolstering to keep you firmly planted and in control. Both seats can be optioned with removable headrests and feature reclining seatbacks and sliding tracks. The seats are 100-percent bolt-in with the appropriate mounting brackets and can be custom covered in a wide variety of patterns, colors, materials, and contrast stitching.
Even rear seat passengers get the TMI treatment with fresh upholstery and new foam. The ’86-’87 rear seat reuses the existing factory seat frame and is available with or without a console.
Console
Between the seats, TMI offers the Full-Length Console, which can be optioned with a shifter cutout that will accommodate just about any shifter and paired with one cup holder, or two cup holders without a cutout. TMI consoles are made from sturdy fiberglass and high-quality material and it flows all the way under the dash and can be matched with the rest of the interior theme for a complete look.
Doors and Dash
Also receiving TMI’s attention are the door panels, interior quarter panels, and dash pad. TMI’s molded door panels have been created to be direct-fit upgrades to the OEM pieces. The door panels are constructed of lightweight fiberglass and then upholstered with vinyl or suede in the same pattern and colorway as the seats.. Rear interior quarter panels are constructed from a Masonite panel and upholstered to match, creating a complete look.
No interior transformation is complete without a new dash pad and TMI’s Monte Calo dash pad is designed to withstand years of sun and still look amazing, something you can’t say about the stock dash pad. TMI’s dash pads start with a molded fiberglass core that is then wrapped in quality color-matched vinyl and simply attaches over the existing dash with hook-and-loop fasteners.
From The Bottom Up
Part of TMI’s Monte Carlo SS interior overhaul includes trunk carpet, floor mats, headliner, and visors. The multi-panel trunk kits include fender panels, a rear divider (behind the rear seats), an inner panel that fits around the trunk latch, a trunk lid cover, and carpet that is color matched to the cabin. The panels themselves are constructed of durable, yet flexible, chipboard that is covered in quality vinyl and is fashioned to directly mirror the interior pattern, with some styles even including chrome molding. Trunk kits are designed to complete any interior installation.
One of the biggest areas of need on this generation of ’86-’87 Monte Carlo SS is the headliner, and the TMI headliner is a direct-fit replacement. Available in a variety of materials, depending on vehicle model year. The headliner will accent any TMI interior design, complimenting the seat pattern styles and color. Completing the headliner installation, sun visors are constructed in-house with a vinyl outer cover, a strong, flexible, and durable inner core, and are designed to fit into the stock mounting location. Visors are vehicle and year-specific.
Steered Straight
TMI Sport 14-inch Steering Wheels are the final piece to any complete TMI interior transformation for the Monte Carlo. Constructed of high-quality billet aluminum and finished in silver, steering wheels can be custom covered to match interior color with two horn button options.
Any of these new Monte Carlo SS products can be ordered to your exact specifications using a palette of colors and a variety of patterns from TMI. Designing a complete interior is as easy as pointing your browser toward TMI’s online configurator.
