Who makes the best "Quality For The Price" interior restoration parts?

Will be redoing the interior on my 70 Convertible and will be needing door panels, carpets, arm rests, convertible top, bucket seat and back bench covers, convertible rear arm rests, etc. All in black.

Question: Who makes the best quality for the price parts?

Thank you.

I just got my Legendary door panels from Thepartsplace....they said it would take 8 wks, but only took 5. Also they came drop shipped from Legendary and TPP is about 10-15% cheaper than Legendary's website. I will be buying all my covers through TPP. They don't have everything...so I'll buy my DIY kits from Legendary
Hope this helps

PS-don't be enticed by PUI $...no way near the quality

PUI is less money, and decent.

Legendary are the best and most costly.

Agreed, Legandary are probably the best reproduction covers on the market. I wouldn't consider using anything else if money was no object, after all, that's what they insist on using at Graveyard Cars . But that comes at a cost. Keep in mind the original tittle of the thread is "Best Quality For The Price.

I had the opportunity to purchase a set of new, uninstalled PUI seat covers for my 71 at a great price. I really wanted to go with Legandary, but the money just isn't there right now. I figured since the price was so good, if I wasn't happy with the quality, I'd just replace them a couple years down the road.

Well I'll tell you what, I was pleasantly surprised with the PUI covers. They seem well made, and the "texture" of the pattern was really nice. I replaced them myself, something I've never done before, and they came out great! PUI and Legadary has YouTube videos on how to replace the covers, which is very helpful.

The price for the covers from TPP is $279 for PUI, and $389 for Legandary. I paid less the $200 for my PUI covers, so it was a no brainier for me. I know it's only a $110 dollar difference, but $110 bucks is $110 bucks. When you have to buy more parts, that $110 would come in handy.

Am I happy with my PUI seat covers? Yes. Will I change them to Legandary in the future? Probably not. BUT, have you guys seen the new "Rallye" seat covers Legandary has out now? It has the "stock" seat pattern with raised sides like a sport seat. They look really cool. But keep in mind the kit is around $700, which includes covers, foam, and burlap. If the price comes down, that's something I might do it the future.

And I hate that this stupid iPad will only let you download one pic at a time!

LOL, let my hands heal up first. No, it's not too bad. I found a clothes steamer really helped out. Not only getting the covers on, but smoothing out some wrinkles.
