Have y'all considered making anything like this for us camaro guys? And I'm really liking the last pic you posted of the white inserts on a black panel. That looks really good

Can you post pics of the panel by itself?

What is it made of? Cardboard like the stock one or plastic? Is that covering vinyl or leather? does it have sound deadening attached to the back like the stock one? Is there any padding like the stock one (doesn't appear to be)? How is it reattached? Epoxy on the cut tabs or screws through the tabs (I've done both)? Do you provide the epoxy or screws?

Im wondering the same thing, My biggest question is re-attaching because my tabs are cut and I just don't have any space left to really keep things on well.

I would be curious to see how to re-attach these myself.

They look great, the material I had the first time I tried this was great. The last batch of material I picked up was total garbage it looks cheap and I don't like it.

Is the first pic with the ebony preforated? I would be curious to see the carbon fiber.

might be a stupid question, is the red a standard color red. Will it match the red leather seats that came in some of the early 4th gens?

The Panel is made of waterproof panelboard (similar to factory but stronger). There is a 1/4" foam behind the vinyl like the factory piece as well.

they are re-attached by both screws and epoxy. The screws go in the middle where the arm rest and door pull attach and the epoxy goes around the perimeter of the panel. The Screws and washers will be included but the epoxy/hot glue will not be included.


since these are custom order, those are the only pictures as of right now, more pictures will be posted as orders come in.

All of the Material is top Quality and only available to Upholstery shops.

Is the suede the same type and what comes on your double din pieces. And do you plan on offering more wrapped stuff like the rest of the panel. And do you guys do matching shift and parking break boots for the autos?
