I need to reupholster my back pad. Bought a new core. Will transfer the foam over to my new core. I'm looking at kits and the best deal out there right now is AAAUpholster.com's kit on sale for $129 including shipping and in stock here.
914 Rubber's kit is $217 + shipping here. Auto Atlanta's kit is $169 + shipping and require 3 weeks (made to order) here. So my question for the group is ... does anybody have any experiences using AAA Upholster kits? If so, what is your experience fit and quality of the materials? TIA |

I tend to agree with Bob B. A skilled upholstery guy makes it look easy.
You can watch all the U tubes on the planet and it won’t give you the finesse to make it look like a pro did it. I feel that’s what most of us want. Still curious which kit is best? |

I feel that’s what most of us want. Still curious which kit is best? Good luck finding a skilled upholstery guy these days though. I paid to have kits installed by a local shop, still didnt come out great. Feel like i would have done a better job myself and saved me over 1k. |
