I checked TMI out today in Oceanside at (the former, I guess) jbugs
supply house.  As you say, the weight of the fabric and vinyl in the
samples I saw seems lighter than stock.  The two bug seats on display
were not that impressive.   Doesn't matter however, as TMI doesn't (I
was told) make a kit for Corrado seats anyway.

Saving for a real upholsterer now, but enjoying the seats anyway.
