The fit and finish is good, materials are good and price was right. It was less than $700 plus shipping (which is always terrible to AK). The brand they sell makes a suburban set, and regular pickup sets of seat covers. I explained that my truck had suburban seats in the front and a regular bench in the back. They asked for pictures, said they could make them and asked what fabric I wanted. The suburban seats normally have a different velour type fabric on the back, but I wanted vinyl. No problem! I also ordered a yard of the seat bottom fabric to do my door panels and the foam backed headliner material. Great customer service and a good product. Took about 3 weeks once I pulled the trigger. I would buy from them again in a heart beat.
You plan to wrap the door panels w/the velour type fabric or the vinyl?

FWIW.... In the LMC catalog, they list the replacement consoles (the 82-91 type) as non-paintable because of the poly material (you can have any color you want.... as long as it's Black). The OE console that I got w/the burb buckets (90 model) sure feels like it's poly so no paint is going to want to stick.

I already had an earlier 73-80 style fiberglass console that I planned to use. The SEM adhered to it well. I also used the SEM on my trim pieces & door panels. No real milage yet... but it looks nice & nothing has peeled off after the install LoL. You can see it will come off under screws if removed/re-installed multiple times (but the screw head does 'hide' it).

Nice looking rig!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
