Nobody Knows
think they bout the same, dont know how many yards tho.
You can use seats from any g-body in your grand prix. Cutlass, Regal, monte Carlo, El Camino, and grand Prix are all swappable.
How much material depends on what you're upholstering. Seats, headliner, dash, rear deck, door panels, trim panels, etc.... Use a measuring tape to figure out what you need. A linear yard of material measures 54" wide x 36"....2 yards would be 54" wide x 72" and so on. G-body front and rear seats should be about 8 yards of material depending on style of seats such as bench, buckets, pillow top, etc...

I have no idea, just figure out which material will go on which panel and then measure each panel. Once you have all the measurements written down, then draw them out to figure the best way to cut the materal and how much exactly you'll need. Just remember that when you buy material by the yard it always measures 54" wide so 1 yard is 54" x 36" 2 yards is 54" x 72" and so on.... When i redid the backseat in my regal which is the same as any g-body, i think i used about 5 yards of white not including the black piping i made out out the same type of black material, 3 yards was enough to make all the piping for front and back seats to keep the factory look but with contrasting colors.
I'm going to do my Regal headliner in a few weeks so i'll snap a bunch of pics. The headliner is about 2 yards. We just did my homies headliner, dash, & sail panels in his cadi coupe in the same black suede i have. Here's how it turned out.
Dash, headliner, and sail panels done. Used 3 yards all together for this stuff and 2 cans of glue including spraying the headliner board and foam backing, then the foam backing and suede on the headliner.
yeah i just brought the grand prix to the house. The dash board is already done up white but the rest of the interior is gone. they stole it and took everything except the dash. So i need buckets headliner carpet and all
