Carl:
I used the kit from Moss (foam only, my covers were ok)and was very pleased
with it, comfortwise, fit, etc. I paid about $150 for an upholstery shop to
install it, after stripping one down myself and realizing they wouldn't look
the same with my "washboard" effect! Money well spent, IMO.

I put TRF kits in my Spitfire, was satisfied with the quality, and had an auto
ulphosterer put the kits together. What I discovered when calling around was
that
there was absolutely no set price for doing the job. I got quotes of $100 to
$400.
Ultimately, a shop did the job (both seats) nicely for $200, but afterwards
said they
would have asked for more had they known how difficult it was going to be (!)
But
given the special tools and experience required for upholstering, everyone who
tells you not to mess with it is absolutely ... right.
