Anyone have any experience with them? Is the quality/ fit good?

haven't used 'em but have read enough to know they're one of the, if not, the best out there...
I used PUI on my 64 for the most part they were fine but had trouble with the front top cover had to have a local shop take it apart and redo it . it had some bad stiching and the wrinkles would not pull out , talked with the place i bought them and no help tried to say they would come out in the sun .
I talked to a shop today and he said he hasn't seen any aftermarket covers that fit well, he said most will have wrinkles. He quoted me $600 to install front and rear covers, with new foam, and fixing a bad spring I have in the front seat. Or he can make custom covers, installed would be $1,100. I definitely wasn't planning on spending that much, maybe I will strap four milk crates to the floor. :rolleyes:
I bought this P.U.I. interior kit in April 2003. Installed everything myself. Door panels, headliner, sail panels, both bucket seats, rear seat, package tray and sun visors. I even had extra material to recover all four arm rests. Fit was great. I had no issues or problems. No wrinkles. Not even in the headliner. The little Nova emblem on the door panel was from the OLD panel. I had to glue it on. Last year it fell off so I just re glued it. Also the Chrome vertical bars on the seat backs came from the old seats.

Wow, that looks great. I don't have the skill, confidence, desire or time to recover them myself. I think my best bet is to fix the small tears I have in the front seat and spray it with some SEM vinyl paint and leave it. The back I will definitely need to have done since its just the bare springs right now. I can always redo the front down the road. I just want to drive my car and enjoy it for a while.
i have used pui on multiple occasions and i think there stuff is top notch
We've had excellent luck with them. Had one customer with a wagon that had a fitment issue with the headliner. We haven't gotten that one figured out yet. :confused::confused: We sold an identical headliner to another customer that fit with no problem.
Got mine from Nightshade also:yes: Very happy with them.

Got mine from Nightshade as well. Installed them myself over Christmas a few years ago. Lack of warmth made it a little more difficult, but I was able to get it done.

Yes, please explain why not? Interested in selling them? Pm me if so.
PUI upholstery is pretty much the standard and are nice covers. I've also used Legendary upholstery, which are a much better fit and construction. As far as I can tell though, Legendary doesn't make Nova upholstery, I've only ever seen A body upholstery for GM's.

No nova stuff listed in the catalog I have.
I did PUI covers on the the front and rear bench seats. The rear fit well. The front's seat belt holes didn't line up and the square cut-out for the seat-back pivots didn't line up either. I had an interior guy cut the stitches and re-sow it. My PUI head rest covers were completely the wrong size too. Of course it's possible that it's not the original bench seat but that was disappointing.
