The pre made kits are way over priced.
The way to do it (and get some very good quality vinyl) is to buy 5
yards of vinyl from a boat canvas shop or auto upholstry shop. Do not
buy the vinyl from your local fabric shop, this is made for cloths and
costumes.
It comes in thousands of textures and colors, many different weights
too.
The top of the line vinyl costs around $10 per yard X 5 yds = $50.
Now take that to you upholsterer and the seats, panels, and even the
radio consul will all match.
ps...A boat cover shop can also make a new top with windows in any
color.
