 Any experience purchasing new seat back covers? They are on my list now that I found a good drivers frame for my car. I'm needing Bright Blue but have dye if needed. Only listing found so far is:

I never have had these in hands, ( obviouslly ) I already fell down on Palco and Accuform pieces of crap, since there is not more good options for 3rd gens ( but seatbacks just because share same than E bodies ). But as far I have known these piece are allmost day and night compared with Palco and even more with Accuform.

Metro is the only distributor for these and latelly It seems won't be anymore, but Legendary providing these:

I just ordered from MetroMopar on eBay, 228.00 shipped. (Blowout Sale.)  :2thumbs: So for even less than others not as nice I got what's needed. Seeing comments in your link about about rumors of parts going NLA forced my hand, I was going to wait and buy these last. Having worked in manufacturing I'm familiar with just what is going on with these parts. The factory made all parts as "Injection Molded" and now others are using the "Blow Molded" method where a single sheet of plastic heated and blown against patterned one sided mold. It's impossible to exactly match that injected part with this method but from the pics in the link they are remarkably "close" for that way of doing things.  :scratchchin:
  Thanks again Nacho! :2thumbs:

Metro is the seller, but not the manufacturer... now, dunno if Vansautollc is getting them from same manufacturer.

damn, I got so dissapointed with the plastic interior parts got from Palco and Accuform than I'm really tempted on pull the trigger on these... but still will mismatch the rest of my panels
