Cruiser Collection: Saddle Brown Vinyl Seating

TMI Automotive Products has recently introduced the Saddle Brown vinyl into its popular, budget friendly Cruiser Collection lineup. The front buckets are offered in two distinct styles: The Cruiser Pro-Classic (pictured) and Cruiser Low Back. The Pro-Classic features moderate bolstering with a slightly wider design, making them a great fit for trucks and SUVs. The Low Back option is engineered with much more aggressive bolstering for hours of comfortable cruising excitement. Fans of bench one-piece will dig the 55- or 60-inch Cruiser bench that boasts a split-back design for easy access to the rear seat or storage area behind them. All three of these seat options are designed with a universal fitment to adapt with most vehicles.
