Default Need new seat upholstery...any recommendations?

Am looking to re new my 65 stangs seat upholstery and there seem to be some brands out there. TMI seems to show up a lot. There are some that are around 25% cheaper but are they worth it. Like all stang nuts, even if others cant really tell the important this is we can when interior looks shabby.

This is one thing I dont want to do over and over again. From experience, which repro interior would you consider the best. Not just for show but for normal use as well.

Yeah, TMI is the company to go with. That's what I used, and the interior turned out very good.

TMI seems to be the hands-down concensus on interior upholstery. Good fit and easy to work with for us noobs!!! Son and I did ours without much cussing involved... Have fun...

If your looking for turq/white pony covers, I saw a set on eBay this week so far going for cheap. I was temped to bid on it, but it's not the color I need for my current project.

TMI is an auto upholstery manufacturer http://www.tmiproducts.com/

Dang [:@] - the turquoise/white pony set listed on e-bay was cancelled by the seller. The high bid was just $.99 2 days ago. Guess they realized they should have set a reserve price on it. The set was new in the box from CJ's Pony Parts.

The sets sold by The Paddock are pretty good quality, and their prices aren't bad.
