    Looks great!

    Don't want to be an *** but from the pictures it doesn't look like it is actual tuck and roll. It looks like it is top s***ched. It still looks great but actual tuck and roll is a lot more work than top s***ching pleats.

    before you go and make yourselves look like idiots take the time to read and think about what was said then if you still dont get it look at the persons profile and read/comprehend youll find that building cars is what i do for a living meaning these are the things i notice because i have to notice them otherwise i get to do it again, FOR FREE.......



    apparrently you didnt read the preivious post of mine that says that its nice. because for me this would be acceptable on my personal car since i do nothing but drive my car.

    The reality is, it's a border town so they may be bilingual or at least understand enough English to get the point across. If not find someone who does to go with you. I personally wouldn't want to go into another country without someone who spoke the language well.
    Oh and what the orig poster said about not acting like a dumb, loud drunk tourist is 100% on. Nobody likes anyone to come to their neighborhood (City, State, Country) acting like a fool.

    turbo442 you nailed it.I go with a friend who speaks fluent spanish,also the guys at the shop speak and understand english.Loud drunks flashing money and acting stupid will get taken advantage of.I dont like drunk ***holes in my hood.Bottom line is i am into customs its in my blood,so i will risk a 20 min drive down to the border to get a job well down.I am sure people can relate to that.Some people drive across country to attend a show,thats a dangerous trip to,but nothing is said about that.weird.

    nice... i love tales of tijuana interiors and this one looks good. the price is right.

    by the way...... don't ***ume it's any safer in many US neighborhoods. sure it's dangerous, but the drama makes it seem even more so.

    I love it! Looks GREAT and for the price, holy smokes certainly worth a trip across country. If I ever do another car I would seriously consider a TJ interior.

    Right on! Some of us need to lose our ethonocentric ego and take a good look in the great American mirror. Things aren't much better north of that border.

    Damn, i really wish I was closer though, i'd definitely have to take you up on that offer, that looks killer!

    We're here to talk about cars.

    If you want to talk politics go somewhere else.

  28. That job looks good enough for the ****heads I run around with!

    You never did say, though; are those pleats individually stuffed? Looks like it to me in from the pics.

    P.S. thanx for posting.

    unclee the pleats arent individually stuffed its a layer of new foam stiched on either side which gives the appearance of stuffed pleats.

    That's a beautiful sight Hombre. I wish I wasn't all the way across the country or I'd take you up on that offer to go down to TJ. I planning on doing a tuck and roll for the Royal, when I get to that stage.

    As for the China thing. China is a mortal sin, because they've overrun this country with cheap goods made by slave labor. Just go into HelMart and try to find something that isn't made in China and isn't bottom of the barrel quality.

    This was done by a local merchant who, by the looks of it, does very good quality work. I don't care what country it's in, I'll always support a quality local merchant over some cheap *** Chinese **** selling box store.

    But that's enough with the political ****, let's talk cars.
