TMI seats ....how are they
 

Anyone got the tmi seats installed ? Wondering if they are comfy and well made . want buckets in the BLUE MULE ..gonna not use cheap lookin console they offer.:chevy:

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

They better be for that price

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I saw them in LMC recently, too. Havent heard much. They look nice in the pictures

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

expensive is what they are.....

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

People say they're pricey, but by the time you have an upholsterer rebuild and recover a factory seat with quality components and do the same customization, it's not as far off. Another good point is they're all new seats, not rebuilt stuff.

As for comfort, I've only ridden in a couple, but they seemed to be very comfy and good quality.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Never seen there ''blue mule'' do they offer them indifferent colors? Ive only ever seen the black. I would love to have a set in red

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

You can design any color scheme you want :chevy:

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I have a tmi bench seat in my 71 and it is pretty comfy. I don't have any long miles in the seat yet. They are very expensive but the seat looks great. I haven't seen any affordable upholstery shop turn out a seat like this. It looks like a seat you would see in a very high dollar build.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Thanks Ed... I'm goin all out with this build so I do want a quality seat. Guess these will work...:chevy:

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I am waiting on a TMI split bench from forum vendor ProPerformance. Mine are black with green/black houndstooth inserts. I ordered the door panels as well, with the same houndstooth inserts. I will post pics once they arrive. Pricey, yes, but once you consider the time and materials for a very good re-upholstery and cleaning up the frame, etc., it's pretty close.

Thanks Flip look forward to seeing them !

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

This, with new foams and cover, and me still doing all the work, it was +/-$500 to rebuild my bench seat.

I have TMI seats in my mustang. I have about 8K miles of long 10-12+ hour days on the hot rod power tour driving in them, very comfy. I've also sat in their sample seats at shows before, they all felt pretty nice. Their "Sport R" seats are the comfy-est, but I don't like the look with the suede and chrome ring things.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Ya I dont like the grommets either,seems like on a hot day they could burn the daddy parts !! Goin with the plain and a stock type console havin made :chevy:

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I have TMI seats in my 65 Chevelle and I am very happy.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Where do these worms come from?

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I don't know but they look sweet

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I meant to post this a long time ago. Getting closer to actually installing the seat this spring.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

^^^ Nice seat. I want the same seat with white and black houndstooth.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

they look great but i have never seen anyone with them installed in real life.


they also look a little uncomfortable

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I think they look a little weird with the wide raised center section ?, has anyone installed a set and run a center line down the steering wheel to see if they actually are centered with the wheel ? or are they just another generic "custom" seat ? :smoke:

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I seen one in a c/10 at a local car show here last year. The owner said it was very comfortable. He let me sit in and I thought it fit good and felt comfy.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

If you don't mind me asking, what seat belt are you going to use with that seat Flipper? Can't wait to see a pic of that sitting in your truck. Thanks for posting!

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

if you get a set of these like that red one pictured above what does that run installed?

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Got them from seatbeltsplus.com, in black. And I can't wait either.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

looked at there site 2200 for the top end seats 550 for the center fountain and 270 for the mounting bracket. so around 3k installed by yourself at the top end.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I have been looking at these seats at Summit. A bit cheaper there.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Here is the split bench sitting on the seat frame. I just did this for fitment and to get a measurement for the mounting bracket I will be making for the underseat subwoofer.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

^^^ Looks super clean

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

That looks really nice!

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I just ordered a set of their top line bucket seats (VXR), the center console, door panels, dash pad and sun-visors. I ordered a custom color “smoke grey” with charcoal suede inserts and light grey contrasting stitching. When you price them out with one of their vendors, they’re much cheaper than their web

I had several questions that TMI was very helpful in answering and sending fabric and stiching samples, even though he knew I was purchasing through a vendor.

I’ll post pics when they arrive, they’ll be going in the build as soon as they arrive.

I’ll let everyone know how long they take to show up.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Thanks MfBox and Diesel. It is coming together. Here are the matching door panels hanging on with some painter's tape. Not a great pic, but I just wanted to see how they looked before I install the power windows, etc.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

That is going to look so good when complete.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

So, how comfortable compared to the buddy buckets? They don't look like they have very much lower back support. I need to replace my buddy buckets with something I can sit in for a couple of hours without getting a backache. It would be nice to be able to sit in them before you buy them...

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I’ve installed and did test fit, seats feel great, used a 2016 Silverado center console/jump seat that is now reupholstered with TMI material. I like the feel and fit, good clearance between doors and console.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Yea...so did I, ordered and after waiting 7 weeks, Summit changed delivery date three times, after phone call they said they have no control over ship dates from mfr.....so, $50 more, got them from LMC...

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I wouldn't blame Summit on that. I ordered mine through ProPerformance, vendor here that is great, and mine were delayed forever. Not vendor's fault as they pressed TMI. When I did get them, they were all wrong. Blue stitching, etc. Really weird stuff. Sent them all back and finally got correct stuff. Good thing I was not in a hurry.

Oh yeah, ProPerformance gave me a good price, too!

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Didn’t mean that, Summit providesme with great service, but be aware that if it ships from mfr, summit can’t control

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

Misread that. Summit has been great for me, too. And ditto on the from manufacturer shipments. They can only do so much.

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

So I would like to order complete TMI interior after seeing one in a nice C10 at the last Caffine & Octane here in Ga. Who do you all recommend for the best service and price. ?

Re: TMI seats ....how are they
 

I will tell you soon. I have a set that Ive had now for a couple weeks---Ill be unboxing them getting ready for installation prob. next week. Ill let you know.
