Looking around online and seems like acme and tmi are the main producers of door panels . Tmi is much more expensive. Does that equal a nicer product?? Anyone have experience with both ?

My understanding is that the RoadRunner much prefers Acme.
All jokes aside I have the acme Seat covers and they are of good quality

In general, i think i prefer Acme over TMI based on the limited experience I have with the materials from both companies.

(Actual thought process without coffee.)
Roadrunner? Are we talking about Plymouths or Fox Mustangs? Oh wait, Coyote, not a Fox.

I’m 98% sure I used TMI on some project, and am 100% sure I had great customer service experiences with them.
