Within the last week or so I saw a listing, somewhere, for Bugeye Seat Kits and matching material. I can not find it. Any ideas where it is and who might be the best supplier? Both price and quality.
Thank You
 
Moss kits look cheap
Heritage kits are expensive but look right.
And your local upholstery shop can do it with all the same material from the same roll for less than the kits.
 
Check out AH Spares especially with the exchange rate being down in favor of the $$. Good quality. Good price.

I used the attached link. Many have referenced my build, however I'm on vacation and can't send a photo.

The Good: You can customize the color. Buy 'extra material' for side panels and trim. A real sharp / unique look.

The Bad: The fit is poor. However, it was mainly on the arm rests which I had cut down to work. The 'shoulders' were too large -- stuffed those with cotton batting.

I'd do it over again, because I really wanted something other than black. You just have to 'work' with the issues. When I mentioned this to the seller; he was dumbfounded and said I was the only guy ever to have this problem (something that really burns my butt when there are so many cars like ours on the road).

If they are totally garbage, they still are much cheaper than Moss. I'm confident that you can work with them (patience). I've never done an interior before this one. I did seats and panels and cockpit trim.

Feel free to email me with any specific questions if you move forward with this guy.

George: Thank you, that was what I was looking for. I should be able to make a decision in a few days, then I will be back in touch.
Thank you
