Well if you were going to do the work yourself you could probably find the material you needed at any fabric store (clothing, upholstery, and automotive). If you wanted someone to do it you could probably hit up a custom stereo shop but expect to pay some MAJOR cash to do it. Plus its kinda tacky...my opinion though!

Good Luck!

yeh you're bored and you want to work on your car because you have nothing else to do. been there. don't go ruin your car, that's a massive project and i doubt you have the skill to pull it off without fVckin your sol up. i don't mean to hate, but i speak from experience. all the times i was bored and decided to make permanent/unalterable changes to expensive oem parts which work perfectly already.

take your motor apart and adjust your valves or something, you'd learn more relevant and important stuffs than butchering a dashboard.

unless you're a pro of course and have access to a limitless supply of resin and fiberglass, matting and cloth, foam of varying thicknesses, lots of specialty tools, unlimited time, and enough patience to redesign something that teams of engineers took years to perfect.

best of luck tho.

you could always just get some spraypaint and rattle can random parts of the dash.

and you can buy a oem replacement carpet from company called stockinteriors or something. look it up, search.....

but don't put a red carpet in an electric blue or hunter orange del sol. i have one, and black suits it nicely. maybe you don't get mud on your feet.

you come across higher than i am

good luck getting things figured out.

if you can't get it done there its probably cuz you shouldn't do it. thats only for your carpet though.

don't mess with the dash yet...if at all.

those glass tops are awesome. super expensive im guessing. i've only ever seen pictures of em. id imagine its a small time thing or they're custom made.

The clear top you're talking about is called an Ameripol top. They come in blue tint and bronze tint. They cost several hundred dollars or you can send your stock top into the company and have them make one for you. Both will set you back several hundred dollars though.

It's also not for circulation. It definitely didn't cool down the del Sol we have here.

I'm a girl and I disapprove of this plan.
