    I've only purchased bulk materials from them, but they were good to deal with and got my materials to me right away.

      When I was looking into replacing my soft top, everyone pointed me to Gahh. And from the site, their stuff looked a lot better than others.

                They have good stuff but, you'll still have to take the covers to an upholstery shop to make every thing fit snug.

                  Do you work at Hyperion?

                  GAHH provides good quality seat covers and convertible tops. A competent enthusiast can acquire the proper tools and supplies and install their kits him/herself. In my experience, it just takes time and attention to detail (and some guidance from the forum and others who have experience is very helpful).

                    No I don't but, I have seen plenty of people do the opposite of what you wrote. Having destroyed their covers and expecting show car quality finish.

                      I personally wouldn't, I recommend going to your local shop. I speak from experience. Seat kits always have to be altered to fit correctly on your seats. Another factor is the seat cushion, they actually shrink or expand because of use and maybe heat/ cold..

                      Like above post, you have to stretch to fit snug but a lot of times its not that its needed to be be stretch but they are actually to big and when you try to stretch they create pockets and wrinkles on the sides. ((Picture added))

                      Also the going around price for installation is 500 in my area but I found for 300 also using real leather/vinyl upholstery stapler gun not zip ties.

                      Now a days like my 2005 4runner you can buy the seat kits from the dealer and the seats are zip off zip on friendly. wasn't our cars done by hands back then... Either way they might be friendly enough and work with you and could return and return till you get it just right but it might be a hassle, I don't know just my opinion, good luck.

                      edit: I just remembered their are kits out there that are laser cut precision, I wonder why.. even so I wouldn't either just because they are doing it to whatever seat they copied off but not your's you know :/ just think about what they are going to say when you try and email them back they don't fit perfect? I imagine they will say "listen buddy, these are precision laser cut! look at how beautiful they look in picture, its your seats the issue. get better seats or something" I rather let the local shop take their time on my seats.

                          Kevin's work is as good as I've seen and he ships "DIY kits" all over the place. He's slow as molasses but I've never heard a complaint about the fit or quality of his work

                            He's also a real upholsterer, not a couple of ladies sewing pattern pieces together.
                            Some of the DID kits are ok for the average person but, to get that one of stitch pattern or real tight factory like fit, you will have to visit an upholstery shop.
