Well they are vinyl, so no elephants were killed. But we finally found a vinyl that can be used to replace these.

Looks very nice. With that said, how many dinosaurs were killed to make the oil which was refined into the vinyl? Hahaha!

Not sure how they feel about the whole thing. The panels look great. What carpet and seats go with elephant? |

Not sure how they feel about the whole thing. The panels look great. What carpet and seats go with elephant? The early, brick mold (looks like bricks stacked), The carpet is an industrial perlon. I'm working out a solution that is robust enough to hold up like the OEM Coming soon. |
