Anyone buy one of these? I'm curious about the quality and fit. I like the price.

Re: Anyone Buy this Upholstery Kit?
I purchased a vinyl top from them about 8 years ago. I am happy with it. At that time it was under $200.
I was unaware they sold seat upholstery when I redid my seats.
My car has a blue interior so I am not sure they carry blue.
I purchased the interior kit from World Upholstery. I am happy with that also.
I found the headrests most challenging in upholstering.

Re: Anyone Buy this Upholstery Kit?
I've purchased from World Uph before...first set they sent was the wrong one. Second set sent was defective. Third set still didn't fit right but I modified it to work. Once modified, it looks good excluding the back side of the front seats (facing the rear of the car). The mounting points are made wrong for the seat design and are not even close to the factory design.
This company is about $100 less expensive for the front seat kit. I only found one thread on them and that person had the same problem I did with World Uph.

Re: Anyone Buy this Upholstery Kit?
I read the Better Business Bureau site for this company - F rating, 5 unanswered complaints and several people referring to them as rude with inferior products, don't stand behind their product or warranty, etc.
I'll be looking elsewhere.
