I upholstered 58 TRUK in grey and gold ultra-suede at a little more than twice the cost of that kit. To keep cost down I used grey vinyl on the sides and back of the seats. Matching grey ultra-suede for the headliner and vinyl on the door panels and console. Custom upholstery allows you to fine tune the interior to a better look than the kits allow.
After a childhood of vinyl seats in vehicles, I'd never consider it for any vehicle or in my house. It'll peal the skin off on hot days and never warms up in the winter.
