Check out there site http://www.tmiproducts.com/
I'm looking for a new bench seat for my C20 something other than stock & found this site. They're unveiling the sport seat for our trucks @ SEMA so if the sport seat looks anything like the one for the el camino I'm in.

Nice looking stuff but way out of my budget for a set!

Yep. Too rich for my blood.

Interested

All I got was frustrated trying to find the seats you talked about. I ended up looking at 13 pages of Mustang stuff

Rod Run · 10-30-2015, 10:43 PM

Once I start doing the interior over on my 69 Camaro, I was going to use their products, so if their truck stuff ends up around the same price point, I will definitely try to buy it.

It is pricey, but their stuff is awesome. If you've ever seen it in person you'd understand

I have a complete "sport seat" upholstery in my 65 Mustang that I installed. I WILL be buying their kit for my 67 firebird.

I'm pretty sure I spent over $500 on new seat foams and a quality cover for my C10s bench, maybe more.

cooperhw · 10-31-2015, 09:36 AM

I wished I would have seen this a few months ago, before I paid a guy to re-upholster my original seat. Looks really nice.

**chevy2tom** · 10-30-2015, 10:46 PM

I agree it's a big chunk of change but not compared to rebuilt stock stuff if you think about it, I was looking @ a rebuilt pair of 71 c10 bucket seats with a console for $1500 or look what a beat up pair of buddy buckets go for ($700- $900) on this site plus from what I've read they're not that comfortable. I drive my truck every day in the summer my old seat(truck lol) needs an update.

**chevy2tom** · 10-30-2015, 10:55 PM

This is the el camino sport benck seat I was looking at & from what I understand it'll be similar style

Definitely keep us posted...I like this Elky look

**chevy2tom** · 10-30-2015, 10:56 PM

The price for this seat is $682.00 & you use your orgional seat track.

68Stepbed · 10-30-2015, 11:06 PM

I've been thinking of doing something similar to that ElCamino seat with my CST bench.

JSF3RD · 10-30-2015, 11:26 PM

Man, those are nice. But as Chevy2tom said, that's about what you'd spend on a good reupholstered bench. Now, if that's real leather I'm gonna jump on one.

**chevy2tom** · 10-31-2015, 10:49 AM

Exactly cooper, I'm not restoring mine to factory correct more like a restomod truck. I don't mind spending the $ Just want to spend it once then on to the next step.

Andy4639 · 10-31-2015, 12:33 PM

I got less than $300.00 in my 99 Tahoe seats and they are 6 way electric and heated both. I did them my self and recovered them all that for less than $300.00. This doesn't include the console.

**chevy2tom** · 10-31-2015, 03:19 PM

Nice job Andy

I got an email from Mario De Leon; TMI VW Division Sales Manager

"The starting price for the bench in black with contrast stitch is $1500.00 and the seat mounts are $279.95. Custom colors are available at a additional up charge"

**chevy2tom** · 10-31-2015, 08:06 PM

I have a buddy that usually goes to SEMA for his work so I'll ask him to get some pics, if not the guy I talked to from TMI said he get a hold of me when he gets back from SEMA

**nlped** · 11-01-2015, 10:37 AM

I'm here for the Sema show. I'll check it out when it it gets started.

And I have the TMI covers & foam in my Mustang. Love them...

**chevy2tom** · 11-01-2015, 10:03 PM

Thanks, Ed looking forward to pics & pricing

**davischevy** · 11-01-2015, 11:58 PM

I used TMI seats in the 65 Chevelle I just finished. I love them.
