  3. [Diude the stuff I have in my ride is pretty UV tolerant., Then again the material wont cop too much UV in a chopped coupe IMHO.

    Understood !

    The lid on mine is low enough too, it should not be a big issue, even here in Florida :)

    Martinez Custom Upholstery has it in stock. Call Dave at 317-856-9773. He is doing my shoebox and is a great guy to deal with.

    Caution!

    Most discount companies sell what Zodiac considers factory seconds. It doesn't come with the printing on the back and most of it will have imprinting of the fabric backing from it being too hot during the manufacturing process. I don't remember exactly how my upholsterer explained it to me but it was a noticeable difference.

    Ask about what you are getting before you order.

    thanks for the tip, but my project only requires a yard won't be getting used much... it is good to know. I've seen it for anywhere from $17.96 a yard up to $40 a yard.
