who has the best seat upholstery kit
Im looking to redo my interior. Does anyone know of a company who has a quality upholstery for stock bench seats. I would like to get a two tone black and silver cloth and vinyl pattern that looks stock in appearance. I know LMC and Brothers has then but I cant see if they are quality. Thanks for your help.

Re: who has the best seat upholstery kit
i just got in a set of upholstery for my s10 from carandtruckupholstery.com and it is nice. The price was great too. I cant wait to get it installed, but so far the quality seems great and it looks awesome, all the pleats are padded, and even the piping has the original grain on it too.

Re: who has the best seat upholstery kit
I would seriously consider supporting a site vendor by checking into his seat covers. For starters, his customer service, prices, and plain old "nice guy" attitude should make it an easy decision. Everyone here knows how anal I can be when it comes to parts for my 73, and I was very happy with the covers. Just my .02

Re: who has the best seat upholstery kit
Yo!
I've re-upholstered several vehicles and used Classic Industries repro vinyl for each of my GM products,...excellent quality and wearablilty for the daily drivers I refurbish. Sure wish I'd known about Captkaos at the time 'cause I'd sure support one of our member/vendors first, and it sounds like his selection is vastly superior to that of the usual vendors. I've only been able to find the basic factory repro upholstery in the past,...but that's what I'd intended on installing in my GM standard option vehicles. If I can provide any advise for removal, prep, or installation, please don't hesitate to ask,...I've done five different types of vehicles, front and rears, some requiring wire stringers and buttons too. Here's FRANKENTRUCK's: Best of luck and have fun! Todd.

Re: who has the best seat upholstery kit
FYI: Car and Truck Upholstery, LMC and a ton of other places sell the exact same stuff I sell. ONLY difference is I don't plan to make a killing on the sale and I don't mind telling you where they came from or who made them. Acme Auto.
This is the site I send all my customers for info. Notice it is the same as Car and Truck Upholstery's link. http://www.acmeauto.us/gallery Just browsing their site I can tell you my costs are $15 less on bench seats.

Re: who has the best seat upholstery kit
pretty straight up info here, i have several bench seats to do. you know the drivers side is like sitting in a hole, cracked falling apart, the other side is perfect, (and since i havent figured out how to swap the passenger side of the seat over to the drivers side)
thanks. |
