Seat Upholstery kit

Has anybody tried any of these guy's upholstery products?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-911-912-924-930-944-SEATS-NEW-UPHOLSTERY-KIT_W0QQitemZ270364594652QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33701Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

They seem to have good ebay feedback, I was just wondering if anybody on here had any experience with their products.

I used one of these kits in my current '944. I only replaced the tired bottom cushion covers and it was a near match (the material is vinyl). Fit was good. Installation DIY (use a bunch of high quality tie-wraps to secure the cover onto wire mesh seat bottom). I would consider it a good, quick fix for a daily driver. If you're picky take your seats to the pros to be refurbished=$$$$

I bought a set for my 911. I think mine came from Inland Imports. When I first got them the stitching wasn't straight on one of the headrests. It actually went downhill and it was obvious. I emailed them and sent a digital picture. They sent me a replacement and paid shipping. they were easy to deal with. My seat foam was a little tired. I got some thin foam wrap from an upholstery shop and wrapped them a little bit to bring them back to size. If I hadn't wrapped them the fit would have been loose.I used a heat gun on LOW heat to help slip them on the foam. I turned them inside out so as you pull them down over the foam they roll back vinyl side out. Overall it wasn't a bad job. I would only take one seat apart at a time in case you forget how something went. I would say do it. I'm happy with mine. If you get into it and have questions ask the board...we'll help.
