Thanks for all the laughs and compliments fellas! :cheers:

The material is amazing. Looks like swede and is made of leather, but it's soft to the touch and very lightweight. I saw it on another car and decided it was a nice touch. There is bendable balsa under it and and thin layer of foam.

The rest of the car is high-end Mercedes carpet and leather to match texture of the seats. Maybe it'll get my car on TV, lol ...(JK - I could care less about that)

The next car will have aluminum and carbon fiber interior panels, no carpet :D

Phew! I'm glad I read the whole post. At first I thought you were going for the early 80's mobile home paneling look when I saw this picture and I was thinking these drapes would go well with the kicks. Maybe as a nice divider between you and your poor passenger.

Seriously though, sounds like you are getting down to brass tacks. I'm excited for my promised burnout vid. :rules:

Yeah I know Dave. I thought that was pretty stupid to put in writing after typing out on my phone. I am a low-end guy anyway, so thanks for pointing it out. :lol:

Sheeatt, I ain't even got drapes....or curtains.....or neighbors within a half a mile that could look in my windows and see my pantsless ass watching T.V. LOL

Here's to living in the boonies! :relax:


Parts are coming in for my car every day. (AC showed up today) Now that winter is FINALLY winding down around here I should be able to actually work on it too.
