1966 correct seat covers (and door panels)

Is the Tan door panels the same color Tan from TMI's web site the same color Tan as the seat from WW? If so then it would be good to order direct from TMI site for both seats and panels?

Obfuscurity, thanks for all your work on this. I'm headed to WW's website to order a set too.

Awesome! Thanks for doing the leg work. I can't believe TMI doesn't clear this kind of confusion up on their website with simple photos.

That is the best news I've had this week, thanks for sharing this whole process with us. The covers look awesome. A couple of questions:

How is the color match to the door panels?

Could you share pictures of the back seat? I believe you mentioned you bought the whole set.

I will put my order in tonight and call WW just to make sure I'm getting the correct covers too.

Thanks again! Please post photos when you install them.

From what I see in the photos you shared it looks like a pretty good match to me as well.

In the photo of the back seat it looks like to basket weave correctly covers the whole middle section of the seat without a smooth panel in the center? That's good news too!

Can't wait to get mine ordered and delivered!

And a big thanks to Mario and the fine folks at TMI for producing these 66 seat covers. Take a bow.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but is there a way to clean original panels? I have two front panels but no rear. They are in sold shape but need glues back on the boards and pretty stained.

I would be ok with the not correct panels if I know the colors I could get would be close, The seats and panels. WW does not sell a 66 panel so what does everyone use?

Where does one look for original Balearie beige panels?

Okay, who has OE '66 door panels (that's local) that we can borrow to pattern???? Wink
