    • @ChromaticGarage

      -$600 is the cheapest thing on this car
      -this glue was recommended by two people that have been doing this exact thing for longer than I have been alive

    You'll regret that material. The fabric will separate from the foam in like two years, and will be saggy again. Should've gone with a single layer material instead, like seude, leather or felt. I did mine in felt like six years ago, not a single sag on it since then. Also did my dad's with the same material as you and the same glue as mine, three years ago, and half of it is coming down and the car is sitting in a garage and is very rarely used...
