Default Type R tweed

someone here had a DIY on his own way to make ctr look alike armrests and such. Anyone know where I can find this material to cover my car with?

Read the link, they sell kits so you can do it yourself.

Just PM them, they will probably explain it to you without making you buy a kit from them.

1 yard should be good enough to do a 4 EK door panels..

or you can just look in the yellow pages and find a local automotive upholstery shop, they should have it. that is where i got my fabric from..

also noting.. this material is not exactly the same as the type r "tweed".. i compared the material side by side with my friend's type r panel, and this fabric does not have the super smoooooth, soft finish that the type r does.. it does have the same look, but not exactly the same finish.. that is fine with me though, just thought i'd note that..
