ACME upholstery?

Hi guys

I got a 20% off coupon for Rockauto and am wondering about seat upholstery. Has anyone used the ACME bench seat upholstery?

this upholstery

I'm not ready to do this yet, but figure with a coupon like this I may take advantage.

Thoughts?

Havent heard of em or used em.

The picture looks accurate, but have you tried cross referencing with the manufacturers website?

That also appears to be the same picture off OC auto carpets website for a 70s ford pickup. Also the same price.

yea the ACME website does list them but it seems pretty rudimentary.

I believe it is made by ACC. I bought the XLT seat cover for my high boy from Mac's auto parts with the Acme label on it. it's not concours correct but it's well made and fits nice. the ACC carpet on the other hand sucks.

I have the Acme Ranger Lariat seat cover in my truck. I am very happy with it. It has held up very well, & is well made. There is a lot to the Lariat seat cover, all the pieces & details are very well done. Vinyl is a close match to original, cloth insert is different from original, but I knew that when I bought it. I got samples of all the material & colors so I could be sure I got exactly what I wanted. Not a problem if you are going black, if you want a color it is good to get the samples so you know what you are getting. I'd buy another cover from them with no worries.

But.... (there's always a but) I wouldn't buy one thru Rock Auto. If there is a problem with your cover, keep in mind that Rock has little to no customer service. I can live with that on a $20 brake caliper, a $350+ seat cover is a different matter. I'd prefer to buy from a vendor that has actual customer service people you can talk to, that will help you if there is a problem. I'll pay a little more for that service.

Hi Scott

Couldn't agree more. Added to the issue (for me) is I'm in Canada and getting the same ACME seat and back covers will be 200 or 300 more (vs rockauto). I love being Canadian (but when it comes to getting truck parts...meh...)

I now know that ACME upholstery is good so I may work some angles with some US friend who can help me out. Your point around customer service is absolutely correct. I've been known to spend more for many items just because I value the service a company offers. It's just tough to justify 40% or more "just" for that... I appreciate your points!
