i was gonna do those, too. but i wasnt sure about how to go about the button areas. did you just cut an X and fold each side in?

shift **** was tricky for its size and shape

no real tips but to make sure the xacto knife is sharp if you do use one, 1st time i did it the blade was dull so it pulled the fabric while i was cutting it so i had to start all over

looking forward to see the pics

yah, mine was more than a yard, too. 35 shipped is a good deal. i got mine local so i paid 38 (tax), but the extra 3 bucks was worth not having to wait.

looks nice..

but "carbon fiber fabric" implies real carbon cloth.

i think this stuff is 'woven' vinyl
