Quality of repro seat covers for Ts and GNs?

[87TR]

Has anyone had any experience with installing new repro seat covers on their 87 Turbo Ts and GNs? How's the look and quality?

I've found the following companies that sell seat covers (the second one has them on eBay):

GBODYPARTS.COM
and
GRAND NATIONAL SPECIALTIES
( NEW 78-87 BUICK REGAL T-TYPE INTERIOR SEAT COVER SET:eBay Motors (item 370243589050 end time Jan-07-10 14:03:20 PST) )

Anyone had any experience with their products?

Try Jax seat covers, there up in Wisconson, and they're pretty decent with price and quality. They have a website, just google them and it should take you to their website.
I had to get my sunvisors redone and they did a really good job.
I refrain from buying on Ebay, things there are just too expensive.

Good luck.

On the aftermarket seat covers you get what you pay for. Not a bad thing. Some people have hi mileage drivers or strictly track cars & they go with basic covers. Look good but not show quality.

The show quality units look 99.9% dead on. The e-bay link is Mike he sells alot of our parts also on e-bay.

If you have a car your doing a restoration on or plan on keeping for a while go show quality.

How do you identify what is "show quality" and what is not? Are there brands out there that one should stay away from?

Can anyone out there provide their opinion? Other than dealers?

Thanks.

There's a difference between the 86 and 87 T fabric so make sure you specify when you order

I just recieved my new covers from Nos4gn friday,first look they are awesome.I just went with their t type material(velour),(need to spend
money in too many other places)but the quality looks to be fantastic.
I won't have any good "use " feedback as far as wear and ease of installation
for a while,but first impression seems to be great value for the $$$$.

PUI manufacturers what we consider show quality.

Brian we had those T seats,Door panels, & rear seat inserts built by Acme back in 05. Customers with T-s wanted GN looking seats. This way they had the look & didn't have to change upper door panels & rear seat inserts to the palex material. It was a less expensive alternative. Acme makes very good quality products as well.

Personaly I just feel PUI is the closest to original out there. They do our Limited upper door panels & rear seat insets. They also do our 84 GN upper door panels.

Can anyone provide pics of their Grey Velour Seat Covers? To me they look like a Budget Buy. If the pix show other wise then I'm sold. If not, then I'll be patient to scrap up the cash for the Pallex/PUI Material instead. Thanks for any help here.

I have these show quality ones purchased from Brian and they are fantastic. I installed them a couple months ago and couldn't be happier. The color and fabric if perfect

See my post above!

The show quality (PUI) ones from Brian are awesome

Not saying the PUI covers don't look good as I haven't seen them in a car. You can get a sample from them. I did. It's not the same as the original material. Don't take anyones word for how they look. Get that sample and decide for yourself. JAX also will send you a sample. There is a guy on the forum who sent me a private email telling me where to buy the original material. For whatever reason he asked me to keep the info confidential, so I will. It really is PERFECT. I bought 5 yards. Of course you then have labor costs. I'm doing a nice restoration so I paid the piper. Good luck.
