I will be looking to replace a entire interior in the near future and was wondering who might sell the best product. I do know PUI has decent stuff, I have bought there stuff with another car but not sure about the Mustang circle Chuck

I have found that NPD sells good products across the board. If I were needing to trust a supplier I would trust them.

Most vendors sell TMI soft trim so for a lot of your interior it may all come from the same company no matter who you purchase from.

If you have an interior color other than black you might want to consider ordering all of it from one vendor to try to keep the colors similar. You may find that the door panels don't match the kick panels and neither match the headliner. My aqua interior is a bloody nightmare color-wise. I may end up just dying everything.

Also watch your seat foam. NPD sells 2 grades of foam while most of the other vendors offer only one, which I think is the lesser quality foam.

Also be very picky when you buy a gauge bezel. Some of the chrome on them can be less than perfect. Most people on this board recommend Mr. Gs.

Most vendors have interior packages, but I don't think NPD does. You can usually save some money on the packages but if you go that route make sure the vendor's best stuff is in the package.

I was happy with Distinctive Industries for my seat covers,but of course I am biased. They spotted my car at Knott's Berry Farm back in 1998 and asked me if my skins were original. I told them they were, the seams on the passenger side were splitting and the piping was sunburned, but they still looked very good. The back seat was perfect however. They offered me a complete set of seat covers if they could use my covers for a pattern. I told them they could have them if you could hold up their skins next to mine and can't tell the difference. The first set they made didn't have the wrinkle finish but I let them put them on til they got the proper material in. Then I took the car down to their building again and was pleased with the new covers. They even gave me a strip of perforated material and a spool of thread to put on a steering wheel cover. So even though my steering wheel looked very good, I had the cover sewn on . Looks great with a wrinkle finish to match the seats!
The bottom line is that Distinctive Industries used my seat covers for the prototype for all 68 seat covers they reproduce. They are located in City of Commerce, CA., but I couldn't get a complete website for them. I see them advertised in auto mags though.
