TMI Upholstery

I need to redo the front buckets on my '67 Coupe. Been looking at the TMI Sport II Comfortweave upholstery. It has the built up areas along the thighs and side. The drawings look sharp. Kind of pricey but ----. Anyone have any experience with these? Anything else I should be looking at? Thanks for any input.

Re: TMI Upholstery

Haven't use those seats but have used TMI. The quality is there,


If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

Re: TMI Upholstery

I put the TMI Sport 1 foam and upholstery in my 68.  It turned out nice.  The foam raises the height of your legs under the steering wheel.  Keep that in mind as you consider it.  If I were doing it over, I'd just put the stock foam in.  I would still use TMI because it came out really nice.  I just wouldn't get the thicker foam.

Re: TMI Upholstery

I decided to just buy whole seats for my '67 from TMI.  I wanted headrests for safety, and by the time I added up the costs of foam, upholstery and headrests it was about the same as just buying whole seats with new frames, tracks, etc.  I'm VERY happy with the seats.  Very comfortable, but I don't slide all over the car when I carve a canyon.

Sure, its called the C&D Canal, but I wouldn't recommend trying to drive in it

Back roads have to serve.  I know its not really the same, but you work with what you got.

Re: TMI Upholstery

For TKOPerformance: I would look at getting the TMI seats but I have the blue 2-tone seats and I don't think their complete seats match the color. Did you try to match an interior color? Thanx

Re: TMI Upholstery

That seems to be a question for TMI directly.  I'm sure if you contact them you will find out what your options are.

Black interior, so not too hard.  That said, their seats are made to order.  I would call them, as they make standard upholstery as well, so likely have the correct material to match.  I would also highly recommend recovering the rear seat with matching upholstery.  Even if the colors were spot on, time, UV exposure, etc. changes the color subtly to where until you put something new next to it you won't notice.

Re: TMI Upholstery

TMI should be able to do anything you want. I wanted the parchment color from 66 for my 07 seats. TMI made them. They charged the cost of each cover plus a “cut charge” of about $100 for the pair for the non typical color of an 07 seat.

Re: TMI Upholstery

I have there low back sport buckets in my 65 and it took about 2 months of driving to get them to settle in and not sit high. I did notice that they are a little tight with the stock arm rest if the seat is moved forward, but thats all.  I love them now and thinking about there new bench seat for my 67 C10


Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW

Basically what I have except mine have headrests.  I wanted the horizontal ribbing because that's what '67's had and that matched the rear seats and door panels.  They did not disappoint.
