Anybody had expierience with these kits good or bad? I thought about buying one and having an upholster do the seat and then I can do my steering column at the same time. Or are there better options out there?

If you're talking about the standard seat I just had mine covered last week, Check pics.

I bought the seat cover and paid $150.00 for the labor and materials to have it put on the old frame.

The reason I was asking is I have purchased window felt and some other Interior parts and it was all good,but I have heard some complaints about LMC from some other posters and just wanted to hear about these kits as that is my next project.

Thanks v-6

The one picture of the little boy with his finger pointing should have a caption...."Don't even think of moving me". LOL

Cute kid and great looking seat!

I did not have a Saints Jersey, I prefer Tulane over LSU, I'm not a fan of Purple.

I have put 2 of the LMC covers on my trucks. Both work very well, remove the old stuff and hogwire the new ones on. They are a great improvement over the old seats. Check my photos on the 54 and 58. The covers are not what you get from a professional, but a good alternative till you want to invest in a better job. good luck

BTW the ulpol. guy took a look at the older style clips on the seat (before removing old cover) and explained that the older larger style clips were better becasue that gave more surface clamping action than the newer hog rings, he re-used all of the old clips as well as a few newer ones.
