Getting ready to purchase new bucket seat covers for 71 Chevelle. Year One Sells for 170 and Ground Up for 150. Any difference in quality?
Thanks!!

I think they are made from different suppiliers. I know Ground UP uses PUI. I don't know what YearOne uses. Look at NPD (really quick) www.ndplink.com (http://www.ndplink.com) or OPGI www.opgi.com (http://www.opgi.com)

I like npd the best becuase they are the fastest and always are instock on the big stuff.

The seat covers I have bought from Year One in the past for my Camaro were made by PUI.

Anyone know about True Connections? They're 150 also and they're local (for me).

The only way to know for sure is to Call and ask...
From research, there are only two companies reproducing seat covers for our cars- PUI and Distinctive Industries(not counting upholstery shops that will custom make them).

PUI is my preferred Supplier.
Distinctive tends to be the 'Cheaper' supplier.

Only way to know for sure is to call and ask who makes the covers they sell. Year One is natorious for being more expensive for the same item than another shop.

If ground up or another supplier has the same brand covers for less- Buy em!
