Just an FYI
I'm reupholstering my seats in the Porsche Orange & Black plaid and bought my material from SMS Auto Fabrics ( www.smsautofabrics.com ) They claim to have the worlds largest inventory of original fabric and vinyl. I received samples from AA and SMS and both seem to be the real deal. AA is $129.50 a yard and SMS is $89. My guess is AA buys from SMS and resells. Give them a call if you dont see what your looking for. They dont display their entire selection On another note I visited a Hispanic upholstery shop in Houston. The owner gave me a quick lesson in vinyl. He laid out 5-identical vinyl swatches and asked me to try and rip them by hand. Three pieces ripped like paper, one took a bit of effort and the last was impossible to tear by hand. He told me to be careful when buying online. Needless to say I'm letting him supply my vinyl |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jan 11 2015, 04:47 AM)  I see that you are a newbie here. Please check out 914Rubber.com., they have the material along with many other things you might need. I've been around for a long time but havent been active in the site. I check it every now and then but rarely comment. too busy with relocating, work travel and restoration. If it were possible I would have purchased stock in 914rubber as he was my largest single spend category for awhile. I didnt however know he carried the fabric. Cool |
