The chrome trim i would like to get is the trim around all the windows i have pretty much all the trim right now except for the drivers side door.

Yes, the camaro seats are the same seats as the nova seats but have different tracts.
On the x-body The outside mounts for the buckets are different on the X-body with a bench seat as well. So something needs to be done on the inside next to the tunnel and on the outside near the door.

The best way to do it is get some mounts from a G-body split bench car (chisel them off the body floor) and use them to weld to your floor instead of drilling holes. Either way is good I guess.

the Camaro seats will look "correct" but you can get any buckets from newer cars (look for lower profile seats and small and from a two door so they recline) and use them too.
