powderbrake Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Looks great !! I also padded and covered my tunnel cover so that my arm rests comfortably on it, while my hand is on the shifter knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m wirth Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 both items are very nice, also where did you obtain the shift knob? thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 i believe the knob is an older momo anatomic. the only difference being the lower screw on part is bare aluminum and not black. it was donated to my car when it visited Loren for its rebirth last year.

Sevnn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The material on the rear looks awesome. I've never been a big fan of the vinyl on mine but I'd be concerned that canvas would get dirty. Is that canvas or something else? If one could source outdoor furniture material like sunsetter or something like that it has a natural UV coating and is supposed to shed dirt naturally.

jimrankin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 On my second "go round" with the boot cover I did a couple of additional mods to make life easier on myself; 1: replaced snap fasteners with the quarter twist type. 2: Moved the cell all the way to the right or more useable boot space. 3: Used a flush deck hatch over the fuel filler in the cell so I didn't have to unsnap to refill. 4: made some mounts and cut some lexan just long enough to bow up and keep the cover tight as it stretches with age and wind action. 5: added a zipper along the un-snapable front edge of the "luggage" side of the boot to make full access quick and easy. Unfortunately I've already uploaded these photos in a different thread about boot covers so can't show them in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
