    This is an A with gator and ostrich. Looks kinda cool but I'm afraid I'd get it dirty.:D

    The ostrich goes good with a gold chain.

    Bump for Friday the 13th!

    Anything more exotic than chicken skin? Or in vinyl?

    Gator and ostrich skin interiors look ghetto. Not to be be stereotypical but neither looks good in an older car. I typically expect the car to be a late model Impala with 10" lift and 26" rims.

    When shopping interiors for my Rivi, I had a guy here in Houston try to sell me on white with gator skin inserts. I looked at it thought about it, then called Fat Lucky.

    Yes, you can... ostrich, aligator, crocodile and a few others in a few different colors and it's cheap. Elizabeth used it in her '51. I found it through a Yahoo vendor and got some samples, but you can also get it at any large fabric store. Don't know about Japan though. I'll see if I can find the link

    This looks ghetto?? It can be done tastefully, cl***y, and very traditional

    Try the following source:

    Majilite Corp.
    1530 Broadway Road
    Dracut, MA 01826
    ph. 978-441-6800

    They have a line called "Nytek Specialities". Very extensive color range and patterns including ostrich and reptile looking stuff.

    Good luck.

    Mexican blankets work fine cheap can get them dirty look half decent. Those fancy interiors belong in pimps low riders.

    Yep, and they look great with flat black paint and red wheels. It's good to fit in, Mr. Creative.
